It proved a red letter day for the children of the Morrinsville and Waitoa schools, j and the committees and parents ciate Mr Allen’s generosity very much ip. providing such a splendid outing for them. Tables were laid under the and the good things provided receiyed every attention. A programme of sports was run off, causing much excitement, especially the teams race which was won by the girls.
