The Otakiri Women's Institute held its meeting on June 6 at the Otakiri Hall. Mrs Armstrong the president was in the chair t and there was a good attendance oi' members. After the business the Link Secretary read a very interesting letter from the link Institute in the South Island. The Golden Thread reading was- on Housing read by Mrs R, Dunning and there were a lot of interesting suggestions that would appeal to women in this. lecture. A competition for a balaclava in khaki wool for the forces brought forth .such a ready rcsuonse that it made heavy work for the judges and will add greatly to the district's quota of kniitting for the forces. The winners were Mrs Peck 1; Mrs McLean 2; Mrs Missen :3. A re-made garment for the Polish children competition will make a parcel worth the winners being Mrs Armstrong 1; Mrs Peck 2. Best Flower: Mrs Missen 1; Mrs Winters 2; Mrs G. Murray 3. Best vegetable: Mrs Armstrong 1; Mrs Missen 2; Mrs; Peck 3.

New brands of tobacco are constantly making their appearance on the market but many of them fail to catch on and despite all the time and money expended to popularise them and push their sale, fizzle out sooner or later.. Far otherwise has. it been with New Zealand's famous toasted brands. For many years now they have been before the public and each year sees the demand, increase by leaps and bounds. This is assuredly the reward of merit < and the recognition by smokers everywhere that "toasted" i.e. Cut Plug No. 10 Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog) , Pocket Edition, Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold and Cavendish —is something out of the common run. It is! composed of the choicest leaf carcfullv matured and skilfully blended the finished product challenges comparison with the world's best. Not only arc the brands named the sweetest coolest most J J fragrant and delicious but the purest. The toasting of the leaf effectually rids it of excess of nicotine and thus is the smoker safeguarded; That is becoming generally recognised, and is probably why so many doctors smoke "toasted."
