PAEROA CARNIVAL FARMERS’ QUEEN HEADS THE POLL After many weeks of strenuous work the Queen Carnival, with its headquarters at Paeroa, came to a close with most satisfactory results. The money collected for each queen is as follows: —Farmers’ Queen, £6OO Os Id; S ‘ort’s Queen, £503 14s; Business Queen, £3G6 31s 2d, making a total of £3,500 5s 3d. , Money so liberally subscribed will servo a double purpose, as a deal of work for the improvement of the town will be carried out, by which means the bulk of the unemployed will be called into requisition. The Mayor, Air. W. Marshall, stated that the event was a wonderful achievement, and was the proudest moment of his seven years’ service as Mayor. The Farmers’ representative, Miss H. Matthews, was a bare £7 in advance of the Sports Queen, Miss V. Shand, who was declared second, while Miss I. Masters, the Business Queen, j came third.
