Locke on Thursday afternoon, where members of the executive of the Te Awamutu Women's Institute assembled to bid farewell to Mrs 11. E. Roberts, one of the keenest and most appreciated members of the committee, who leaves on Monday for Australia, her husband having accepted an important appointment with Trufoods, Ltd., in Victoria. Mrs G. Angus, vice-presi-dent, asked Mrs Roberts to accept a beautiful hand worked table centre, and an autograph book containing the signatures and good wishes of her fellow members.
