Reynolds and family who, after residing in that district for the past 27 years, left to take up farming in the Te Kuiti district. Messrs. H. J. Tod, V. F. Houlmin and J. D. Lilburn expressed their appreciation of Mr. Reynold’s work in the district and also spoke of their regret at losing his services on the School Committee of which he had been a valued member. On behalf of the residents of the district Mr. Lilburn asked Mr., Reynolds to accept a canteen of cutlery for himself and his wife and presented engraved serviette rings to each of the children. Mr. Reynolds replied, thanking those present for their expressions and token of esteem. The assembly joined in the singing of “For they are Jolly Good Fellows” and dancing continued until the evening concluded with the singing of ‘Auld Lang Syne.”
