BRITISH EMPIRE EXHIBITION

A SOUTH TARANAKI EXHIBIT At a meeting of the Dominion Advisory Council of the British Empire Exhibition, held on Tuesday, Mr L. O. Hooker (organiser of the recent “Week for the Empire), of Hawera, waited on the Council and placed a proposal from the South Taranaki district to erect a working dairy exhibit in the New Zealand pavilion. Mr Hooker pointed out that the people of Taranaki considered themselves as holding the first dairying district in the Dominion, and in this connection they feel some special effort should be made to represent the dairying industry other than what is being undertaken by* the combined Dairy Associations. The scheme will consist of a modern milking plant. It has been suggested that a model of a modem dairy factory will also be shown. The Council unanimously decided to accept the offer, and it is understood that the preparation of the exhibit will be commenced forthwith. Three hundred square feet is being allotted for this exhibit, also suitable wall space for displaying photographs and matter of a similar nature.
