ROSES AND SWEET PEAS

FLOWER SHOW AT HAWERA. GAY BLOOMS AND DECORATIONS. Beautiful blooms, skilful decorative work, and an artful arrangement of stalls and exhibits characterised, the eighth Hawera Methodist rose aud sweet pea show, which opened in the Lloyd George Hall at the Winter Show Buildings, Hawera, yesterday. The show will conclude to-day. In introducing Mr. H. G- Dickie, M.P., who opened the show, the Rev. E. S. Emmitt drew special attention to a most' interesting feature of this year’s show —the large exhibition of Great War curios lent by returned soldiers in the Hawera district. The exhibit is most varied and includes maps, photographs, sketches, shells, helmets, revolvers and all the insignia and paraphernalia invariably connected with war. The display is probably unique in its .way and created the greatest interest ' amona visitors to- .the show. Mr. Dict'ie, in • declaring ‘ the show open, commented upon the fact that many people used the hard times through which the Dominion was at present passing as an excuse to “button up their pockets.” This, he said, onlyi kept more niuiiey out of circulation. He hoped those present would remember the good Causes towards which money spent- at the show would go, and do their best to help. Mr. E. Dixon said that the funds from the show would go mostly towards mission swork. ■ ' The public schools’ orchestra, under the direction of Mr. H. C. A. Fox, gave a fine programme during the afternoon. This was greatly appreciated by the many present. i The different stalls appeared to enjoy brisk trade for the greater part of the afternoon. Those in charge of them were; Top/ rooms, Mesdames Hartmann, I -.‘ng, Evans, Sutton, Hatcher, Squire, Misses Emmitt,-B. Tonks, Hulbert and Squire; produce, Mesdames Tozer senr. and junr. and Mrs. Rae; work stall, Mrs. Carter and the members of the Young Women’s Bible Class; eake, Mesdames Emmitt, Cross and Roberts; sweets, Mesdames Ollcrenshaw, Manners and Carter; flowers, Mesdames Switzer and Beeson; ice cream and soft drinks, Mesdames i West wood, Spragg and Hey; hoop-la, A. and C. Dowdle; shooting o-allery,. Messrs. Tozer and R. Smith; bran tubs, Mrs. Barron. A novelty dinner composed of flowers and leaves was in charge of Misses Hill and Cressey, while there were two miscellaneous stalls run by the men and the Young Men’s Bible Class members. In touch with everything Miss Dorothy Bates proved an ideal; and tireless secretary. Details are:— ■ \ ■

' '• HAWERA MALE CHOIR. > // ' • SUCCESSFUL CONCERT GIVEN" ' F Considered by many to be our of the ; best works wet credited' to the society, the Hawera Male Choir’s concert _on Tuesday proved most enjoyable.. Not onlv did the choir give a good performance but the: soloists, M- Williafh Wat- . ters, Palmerston North,, and Miss'Mary Massey, Stratford, weile in • excellent voice. ■ /,' Under the baton of Mr. Hi.-'Webb, the choir rendered'some attractive npinbers, the programme being welb vdned. In the first hal( the Hioir sang Ring . Out, Wild Bells/’ “Farewell to the High- ( , lands,” and, to bring the. curtain down ... successfully, “Way. Down Yonder in de Cornfield,” aai ever popular part-song. After the interval the choir 'was heard... . to advantage in “Sing'Heigh-ho,” “El-,"-/ dorado,” arid f‘The Voice of the Tor- ; , rent?’ the last-mentioned giving fjin . scope for interpretation. The choir, was , also particularly,'effective in a‘ chorus to one of Mr. Watters’ solos, “Rolling the Log” from “Lumber. Love.” ■• - .■ As was expected - with a ' singer of Mr. Watters’ artistry his songs proved -most popular with the packed house. The attendance was loath to part with him and his final number, was .encored , three times, his hearers still remaining unsatisfied. He sang the prologue from ( “I Pagliaeci,” “Rolling the Log” (with / a chorus by the choir) and “The Lute. Player,” as well as numerous encores.// Miss Massey sang “The Jewel-Song” and “The Lorely” well. She, too, was enthusiastically received and had' to respond to encores.. / > The .choir's quartet, Messrs f, C. Smith, .'A. E. Morris, >B. Malone •id; G. H. Buekeridge, were heard only once,. / singing “In' a Gondola.” As an encore they sang the evergreen “John Peel?’. .// Mrs. W,' A-. Quim. did excellent work as accompauiste. The members of. the ■choir were:— tel First tenors, Messrs J., C.. Smi.th, „G. ■ / H. Westwood, L. Lay, W. E. Sutton,, ' J. Dredge, W. J. Woods; second tenors,/ Messrs A. E. Morris, J-. W. Glover, J.
