WAIKAKA NOTES

MR J. POTTER FAREWELLED. (From Our Correspondent.) Mr F. Gutschlag’s barn, Greenvale, was the scene of a very pleasant gathering when a large number of friends gathered to bid farewell to Mr J. Potter, who is leaving the district and who has since been married. Dancing was enjoyed by all present, Mr E. Gutschlag carrying out the duties of M.C. At a suitable interval Mr D. Lawlor, on behalf of those present, presented Mr Potter with a travelling rug as a token of the esteem in which he was held. For the Greenvale Collie Club, Mr T.
