Mrs. Hardwick is spending a holiday with 'her daughter, Mrs Symes, Taikatu Road. In giving instruction m junur Rcl Cross work in the schools, Sister; Ingles is amazed at the readiness and aptitude of the Maori pupile in learning all the different forms of bandaging and in learning any handwork. WHAREROA NEWS. When the householders’ annual meeting was called on Monday only four persons responded—not sufficient .to form a committee. It is a great pity to see such apathy in a district, especially on such a vital subject as the welfare of the rising generation. Of course a great amount of the power of school committees has been whittled away, but still there are many things for which they are urgently needed. It is to be hoped that there will be a better response when the next meeting is- called. Mrs. B. C. Bennett, Hawera, visited the Whareroa School last week and gave an interesting lecturette on her recent travels abroad. She had many curios from distant lands arid explained all about them to the children. The lecture was much appreciated as could be seen by the wrapt expressions on the children’s faces. This was a lesson on geography . which will be ’ remembered when all other geography is forgotten. The milk supply at the dairy factory is becoming smaller day by day and the season will soon be. over. There are to be alterations and additions to the factory this winter, as it must be enlartred. Last year a number of the suppliers had to go to the main factory on Glover Road as there was not sufficient accommodation for all the milk supplied. Many of the farmers rae going in heavily for top-dressing and the results arc seen in a great milk supply. Some of the farmers have almost •doubled their carrying capacity by the judicious use of fertilisers. Miss May Harvey is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. 11. Wells. ' * PERSONAL.' . Constable P. J. Mullan left Hawera yesterday for Te Araroa, Bast Coast, where he has been transferred. He was accompanied by Mrs. Mullan. In -a badly damaged condition and without any sign of driver or passengers, a nearly new limousine car was found on Wednesday evening at the corner of the Main South and Inaha Roads. The car had crashed into a ditch with its right-hand front wheel against a telegraph pole. Asked how his school was faring in regard to capitation, Mr. Williams, chairman of the Meremere School Committee, told the Education Board members yesterday' that, the committee was receiving enough. “That is the most delightful thing I have heard on the trip.” responded Mr. H. W. Insull, secretary of the board. The Meremere Ladies’ Guild met at Mrs. Gardner’s this week. The work is progressing most satisfactorily. The next meeting will be held at Mrs. Andrews’ residence.
