CARNIVAL QUEEN
COUNTRY INTERESTS MEET A further stage in the development of the forthcoming Patriotic Queen Carnival was reached yesterday when a meeting representative of the Farmers’ Union, Women’s Institutes, Women’s Division, and A. and P. Association unanimously decided to run a country queen. The organiser to the local patriotic executive, Mr C. G. Hunt, explained that the object of the carnival was to raise £45,000 in the Waikato district to relieve distress in London, to help the rehabilitation of New Zealand soldiers and for general patriotic purposes. A sub-committee comprising Mesdames J. Ward Chapman (representing the Women’s Institutes), A. J. Clements (Women’s Division), A. Goodwin (Country Patriotic Committees), Messrs D. B. Livingstone (Farmers’ Union 3, and W. J. Franklin (A. and P. Association), was set up to call a meeting of representatives of the various organisations in the country districts to elect a carnival committee and country queen. The country queen will be one of three local queens and she will represent all country districts within a 10-mile radius of Hamilton, extending from Whatawhata in the west to Eureka in the east and from Horotiu in the north to Ohaupo in the south.
