FINE FOR ONCE
OLD TRADITION SHATTERED LABOUR DAY WEEKEND Uhe year 1945 will be memorable for the succession, of perfect days it produced. After so many consecutive years of broken stormy weather the contrast was. all the more pleasing, and optimists had the pleasure of hurling scorn upon the prophets of gloom who looked sorrowfully upon those who insisted in promoting in the Whakatane area f a n annual Golf Tourliament a Provincial Fire Demonstration, ' a Scout Camp i( a Bowling Tournament and numerous other out-of-doors 1 unctions, to tease the weather clerk. 'Whakatane went into the open air with a vengeance. Apart from the vai/ious sporting and organised fixtures, crowds went to Ohope Beach Ihe Heads w-erc also popular whilst a large local contingent went'to Lake Rotoma, where also the Scout Training Camp, under S.Ms. Ward Allen, Cliff Cavill and T. H. Howell, was successfully carried out some 45 boys from all parts of the Bay of Plenty attending. The Labour Day weekend was according to many the finest and sunniest within memory.
