WAIMATE FLOWER SHOW

Methodist Church

Excellent Entries The Olympia Hall was a blaze of colour yesterday on the occasion of the annual spring flower show of the St. Paul’s Methodist Church. The function attracted excellent entries and although the weather has not been very favourable, the exhibits were well up to standard and elicited high praise from the judge, Mr A. Gibson, of Marton. Tire handwork displays of the children from the Primary School and High School were of a high standard and occasioned much comment. Features of the show were the displays, for exhibition only, staged by Mr A. Gibson and by the Borough gardener, Mr N. M. Morrison. The show was officially opened by the Rev. H. L. Richards.

Prospects are bright for the opening of the fishing season in the Waimate district to-day. The Waihao River is rather low but is in capital order, and fish are reported to be plentiful. The season on the Waitaki opens on October 15. LOCAL GROWER’S SUCCESS A well-known Waimate horticulturist, Mr F. W.
