GLORIOUS BLOOMS

MARTON ROSE SHOW METHODIST CHURCH UNDERTAKING (Own Correspondent) Colours of every hue bathed the Civic Theatre in an atmosphere of beauty yesterday, when the Methodist Church’s annual rose show was opened by the Mayor, Mr F. Purnell. Although the recent weather had taken toll of roses and resulted in a diminution of entries, the standard was very good. The secretary, Miss L. F. Phillips, and her assistant, Miss T. Cuming, are capable and courteous officials, while stewards and stall-holders displayed remarkable industry. Mr F. Purnell, in declaring the show open apologised for the absence of Mrs Purnell, but he thought it fitting that he should have with him on the platform his sister, Mrs Hutchins, who for some years was associated with the Marton Methodist Church. (Applause). He congratulated the officials on the very fine show, and he hoped the result would be satisfactory in every way. Mrs Hutchins was presented with a posy by Helen Pearce.
