FLOWER SHOW AT MAKAREWA

WOMEN’S DIVISION OF FARMERS’ UNION BLOOMS REACH PREVIOUS STANDARD The Makarewa branch of the Women’s Division of the Farmers Union held a successful flower show in the public hall. Because of counterattractions the entries in the floral and needlework sections were fewer than usual. Despite the exceptionally dry season the blooms displayed were up to the standard-of previous years. The following were the judges:— Floral, Mr Stewart, Karitane; produce, Mrs Russell; needlework, Mrs Brown; babies, Nurse Meredith. A feature of the show was an excellent display of work by children of the Makarewa school, consisting of writing, drawings, painting, handwork, project books and so on.
