This function took the form of a smoke concert which was continued well into the night. Mr. W. H. Lane, the County Chairman, was unfortunately absent owing to qn attack of influenza. Mr. McLean’s departure will be regretted not only because he has carried out his duties efficiently in his official capacity, but also because »he has identified himself with local sport in no uncertain manner. Repairs to Totara Wharf Shed

At the last meeting of the Whangaroa County Council the Building Com-

mittee was instructed to make investigations regarding the erection of a new shed on the Totara wharf. The building is to cost not more than £250. The present shed has been found far too small to hold the supplies of fertiliser which are landed on the Totara side of the harbour during the spring and autumn. The opinions of those who make most use of the wharf are to be considered, and the committee will submit a report at the next meeting of the Council. Women’s Division N.Z.F.U.
