SOCIAL AND PERSONAL

Mr H. Crawford, of Whangarei, was a visitor to Te Awairvutu yesterday. At the first meeting of directors, following the annual meeting of the Te Awamutu Terminating Building Society, Mr F. J. Gilbert was unanimously re-elected chairman. Mr and Mrs A. Brewer, of Taurarjga. were visitors to Te Awamutu dur ng the week-end, staying with their son, Mr A. F. Brewer, Bank Street. Sincere sympathy will be extended to Mrs W. Mackenzie, of College Street, in the death of her father, Mr John Gould, an old and muchrespected resident of Feilding, which occurred on Saturday morn/ng last, at the age of 91 years. ,Mr R. L. Adams, of Te Awamutu, received advice on Monday morning of an accident sustained by his father, Mr John Adam!s, of Owens Roach Epsom, while following the Pakuranga hounds on Saturday afternonn. Mr Adams, who is 75 years, of age, has for many 'years been a consistent and enthusiastic follower of the hounds, and on Saturday he experienced one of very few accidents in a long career. It appears that the horse in front of Mr Adams’ mount baulked at a jump, and in a melee Mr Adams’ leg was crushed so badly that the sufferer had to be removed to hospital. Latest advice is that Mr Adams is making satisfactory progress towards recovery.
