Bazaar and Queen Carnival at Marton
The financial results of the bazaar and queen carnival, held in the Marten Town Hall from the 12th till the 15th June, inclusive, to provide funds for the enlargement and improvement of the local Catholic church, were highly gratifying, the gross takings being £725 and the expenses £63 (writes a correspondent). The success of the. undertaking was largely clue to the ladies who worked hard at the various well-stocked stalls. ihe queen contest between Marton and Turakina candidates occasioned considerable interest, the result being eagerly awaited. The final numbers gave Turakina the place of honor, Marton being a close runner-up. The arduous duties of secretary and organiser were ably carried out by Mr. T. E. Haughey, in conjunction with Mr. A. 0. Scott who also attended to the entertainment programmes. The concluding function —a coronation ceremony followed by a fancy dress social—is to be held in about a month. x •
