RECORD WINTER FAIR Perhaps never before in the history of Auckland has the work done by St. Mary's Homes, Otahuhu. tinder the management of the Order of the Good Shepherd, been more valuable or more urgently necessary than at the present time. Abnormal war conditions and the social problems arising therefrom have greatly added to their burden of responsibility in caring for unmarried mothers and their babies, as well as for small children left destitute or neglected through the illness or absence of their parents. It was no doubt the recognition of this fact that brought about such a large attendance of the public at the Winter Fair organised by the combined parishes of the Church of England diocese, and held yesterday in the concert chamber of the Town Hall. The many attractive stalls wore all alike well patronised, and altogether the show was. in the words of the organising secretary, Mrs. I>. C. G. Keith, "the best we've ever had."
