Miss Gertie Campion, known to fame as a member of the Pollard Opera Comply* has put on some weight since taking up her abode at the Government Sanatorium, and no one would recognise n her the vivacious feather weight °who used to flit about the stage in “ The French Maid.” Judging by Miss Campion’s robust appearance one would conclude that she will shortly be fit to once more face the footlights. Mr W. N. Sturges, President of the Cambridge Farmers’ Club, has tabled the following notice of motion : “ That the Club approach the Waikato Central Agricultural Association with a view to the amalgamation of the two bodies, and that the executive of the Club be appointed to meet the Association to discuss the matter and report to the annual meeting of the Club to be held on the 7th of May.”
