WOMEN’S DIVISION

KORAKONUIBRANCH. The Korakonui branch of the Women’s Division of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union held its monthly meeting in the hall on 13th instant. Mrs Froggatt presided, and there was a good attendance of members. Apologies for unavoidable absence were received from Mesdames J. Jamieson, Silvester, and Hudson. The guests of the meeting were Mrs F. J. B. Ryburn (provincial president) and Mrs Godfrey (organiser); they were accompanied by several members of Te Awamutu branch of the Division. Mesdames Ryburn and Godfrey gave interesting addresses on the work being done by the Women’s Division all over New Zealand. The president read a report of the provincial meeting held in Te Awamutu. A competition (making a bouquet of flowers in ten minutes) was won by Mrs Poolman, with Mrs Whitfield second. Mesdames Ryburn and Godfrey acted as judges, and the bouquets were presented to them. The school children gave a drill display. They had been trained very efficiently by Miss Butcher. The exchange table and library were well patronised, and the meet-, ing closed with a vote of thanks to the visitors for their addresses.
