HAWERA JERSEY CATTLE CLUB

REVIEW OF YEAR’S ACTIVITIES. ' APPOINTMENT OF OFFICERS. At the annual meeting of the Hawera Jersey Cattle Club last night Mr. C. H. Washer presided over an attendance of about 20, including Mr. Cfc. H r Bell, Oakura, a member of the New Zealand Jersey Council. • . ' The activities of the club had been curtailed during the past difficult period, stated the president’s report. It was hoped as conditions improved to extend the scope and usefulness of the club in the interests of the Jersey breed. A most successful field day had been held on the farm of Mr. R. S. Scown. The Jersey exhibits at the Hawera show were of a very high standard and the accommodation around the ring had been favourably commented upon. Reference was made to the success of the bull fair. Several members had held sales at which good prices were obtained. The financial position was very sat- , isfactory.. Congratulations were offered Mr. Bell upon retaining his seat on the New Zealand council, and Mr. R. J. Linn, New Plymouth, for the services he had rendered the club and the breed. Officers elected were: President, Mr. C. H. Washer; vice-presidents, Mr. R. S. Scown; committee, Messrs. J. Nicolson (Kaupokonui), S. A. Tippetts (Okinawa), H. Tosland (Inaha), J.

Page at the piano. Supper was served by the Rewa management. WAITOTARA NEWS. FOOTBALL UNDER DIFFICULTIES. The trial game in the Wairoa SubUnion district on Saturday was played in a deluge of rain.
