AWANUI WOMEN’S INSTITUTE The Awanui Insrkue meeting was held on April 9 when Mrs. McCarthy presided over a fair attendance despite inclement weather. The programme took the form of an Australian afternoon, gum leaves, pictures of kookaburras, and a basket cleverly decorated with pink gum flowers, a koala bear and a small

wooden model of Australia were included in the table decorations. A most interesting talk on Australia was given by Mrs. Williamson and was very much appreciated. In recognition and appreciation of the way in which she has carried out her duties during her past year as president, Mrs. McCarthy was presented with a pottery flower jug. The shield for the most points gained in competitions through the year, was presented to Mrs. Henry Subritzky. Miss Helen Topia obliged with a song sung first in Maori and then in English. The competition for an eggless cake was won by Mrs. Bert Cowie, while Miss Mary Sutton was the winner of the written competition. The hostesses for the afternoon were Mesdames Bridgeford and Gallagher. The usual monthly meeting of the County Council will be held next Wednesday. Anzac Day The usual Anzac Day services will be held in Kaitaia at 11 a.m. on Sunday, April 25th, and at Mangonui in the afternoon. The address at each service will be given by Mr. J. B. Reynolds, an executive member of the County R.S.A. At each service the ex-servicemen will parade. Formation of Road to Reservoir A start was made this week on the formation of the county section of the road leading to the Trig hill above Kaitaia, where the reservoir for the new water supply will be built. This road also leads to Okahau and it is probable that the formation will be completed through to there. The opening of this road will give access to properties in that locality and also open up good gravel beds for road metal. It will be extensively used for the transport of the material for the water supply.

All schools will close for one week in July to enable teachers to attend an Education conference in Auckland, that is being held there that month. On Coronation Day, school children will assemble at 9 a.m. for a suitable ceremony and after this the children will disperse. The day before the Coronation, the teachers are to explain the significance of the Coronation to the pupils and the Government has urged that schools provide a suitable symbol of commemoration, as planting of trees in the school grounds.
