Annual Guild Spring Show

Mocrewa St. Saviour's Ladies’ Guild was once more favoured with good weather for the holding of their show in September. Though there was a falling off in the number of entries in most sections, the judges expressed the opinion that the exhibits were of a high standard. The judge of the school section expressed disappointment that the schools of neighbouring districts did not compete. A feature in this section was the display of Chinese work brought from the Chinese school at Suva, by Mrs Fox, for exhibition. These drawings are done from memory with a tiny brush, by children aged from seven to 1(5 years and the details are evidence of keen powers of observation possessed by these pupils.

Official Opening

At 2 pan. the show was officially opened by the Vicar of the Bay ol Islands parish, the Rev. ('. G. Palmer, who congratulated the winners in the various sections and wished other competitors better luck next time. To the various workers he expressed approval and thanks, hoped that next year there would be even greater competition and that the standard of work would be kept up. The afterni<v*t tea stall was well patronised as was that of work done by the inmates of the Institute for the Blind. Brisk business was done throughout the afternoon and evening at this stall presided over by a member of the Moerewa Women’s Institute and funds for this worthy object should benefit substantially as a result.
