ORARI BRIDGE

WOMEN’S DIVISION Mrs J. Reid presided at the monthly meeting of the Orari Bridge branch of the Women’s Division of the Farmers’ Union, when a most enjoyable talk on Maori ctirios was given by Mr McCully (Peel Forest). A wonderful collection of curios and primitive tools proved not only interesting but very instructive. One new member, Mrs F. Reid, was welcomed. A financial report of the Cinderella dance held recently showed a very substantial Credit balance. It was decided to send a representative from the branch to the conference to be held in Wellington during July. Mrs F. E. South was nominated as the delegate. Mrs J. Reid made a presentation of a crystal vase to the secretary who was accorded musical honours. Mrs Quigley thanked the members for their kind thoughts and gift.
