A GRAND OLD WHITE RIBBONER.
Hastings has an active Superintendent for Home Meetings. Many meetings have l>een arranged and many new members gained. And one who has just boen initiated is Mrs. R. Anderson, who will complete a century of life next November. She was born in Hobart, came to the Bay of Islands as an infant in arms, was married at 17 and went to Coramandel. At 27 she was left a widow with one son. She took up nursing and went to Napier, arriving at the Spit the day after the famous earthquake of 60 years ago. When asked for her recipe for long life she replied: “Well, I’ve been a teetotaller all my life, have worked hard, lived on plain fere, and walked!” She walked miles and miles to patients no bicycles, motor cars or aeroplanes. But now Mrs. Anderson enjoys a motor drive and even an air flight.
Nearly a century old and yet well and happy, and a recruit to the White Rib)ton Army.
