GERALDINE

WINTER SHOW “BAY” CENTRE OF ATTRACTION Naturally visitors from the Geraldine district make a point of examining the Geraldine “Bay” at the Winter Show, which has proved a centre of attraction since the opening of the Exhibition. The Geraldine “Bay,” which secured third place in the bay competition, is particularly strong in farm products, which gained 41 points, the highest awarded for that section. Waimate, who won the competition, secured 40 points, and Levels, the second prize winners, 36 points. Dairy products were Geraldine’s weakest link, the local Bay securing only 27 points, compared with 455 by Waimate and 40 by Levels. Geraldine was also weak in garden products, gaining 37 points. Waimate and Levels each secured 48 points in cookery, in which Geraldine were only two points behind. In the preserves section Waimate and Geraldine secured 34, Levels gaining 39. Levels led in the arts and crafts section with 42, Waimate gaining 37 and Geraldine 35. Levels secured 485 points for general appearance, originality and artistic arrangement, Temuka 46, Geraldine 455 and Waimate 435. The Geraldine Bay contrasted with the other bays as the ceiling comprised wooden panels, while the others, by the ingenious use of wire netting, covered either in wool or in bracken looked most attractive. However, it is evident by the closeness of the points awarded for general appearance, that the judges considered the Geraldine layout most satisfactory. Fully representative of the products of the district, the Geraldine display reflects great credit on Mrs M. S. Barker (convener) and the members of the Geraldine District Bay Committee, who spared no effort and who put in many hours of work in organising and arranging the bay.

The story of this wealthy English girl who renounced a life of social frivolities to become a war nurse and laid the groundwork for what subsequently be-ame the Red Cross, is filled with absorbing drama, tragedy and romance. In bringing the story of Florence Nightingale to the screen, First National has searched out the intimate details of a career rich in theatrical values. Months of research, a tremendous programme of construction and lavish and elaborate settings, are said to have made this picture one of the most mammoth productions ever screened. The supports include a special film of the Coronation.
