The first monthly meeting of the Waitohi Women’s Institute was held on Wednesday, Mrs Sewell presiding over a good muster of members. As Miss Mclntosh was unable to continue as secretary, Mrs Matheson was appointed. A competition, “Something Old Made From Something New” was won by Mrs Sewell. After discussion of business matters, future programmes, etc., members enjoyed afternoon tea provided by Mrs McKinnon, Mrs J. Moore and Miss Moore. To next meeting each member was requested to bring her earliest photograph and a favourite recipe. GENERAL NEWS. Rates collected at the Temuka Borough Council office up to Saturday amounted to £1329. Last year, up to the last day on which discount was allowed, £I7OB was collected, but the discount day was then extended for a further two weeks. Saturday morning was springlike in Temuka, the sun imparting a warmth that proved most welcome. Shortly after midday a nor’-wester sprang up, but this also was of a warm nature. Later in the afternoon, however, a cold southerly completely changed the atmosphere, which became very cold. Reception of the third test match at Auckland was fairly good in Temuka on Saturday afternoon, and all sets claimed a large number of listeners, who appeared to thoroughly enjoy the game. THE OPTICAL SPECIALIST. The Optical Specialist of John R. Procter’s, Ltd. (New Zealand’s leading opticians), Christchurch, will be visiting Temuka on Saturday, August 9th, and may be consulted on all defects of eyesight (Glasses) at the United Friendly Societies’ Dispensary between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Appointments may now be made by ringing the United Friendly Societies’ Dispensary.
