MEETING AT AWAKERI The monthly meeting of the Awakeri branch of the Women’s Division was held in the Awakeri Hall on August 18, Mrs Haultain presiding over a good attendance in spite of the boisterous weather. Mrs Thompson’s resignation was received with regret, and members wished her every success in her new position in the Waveriey School. Members were interested to learn that efforts are being made tc incorporate the Country Library Service with the existing Library m Whakatane.

We hope to send a “Parcel for Britain” every month and members will take turns in bringing suitable gifts for dispatch to a different recipient each month.

Mrs N. Carter, the delegate, was given a hearty vote of thanks for her interesting report on the Dominion Conference and 21st Birthday Party of the W.D. held in Wellington in July. Arrangements were made for the Spring Flower Display next month which is to be an Open Day to raise funds for the branch.

Best flower, Mrs Graham 1; Mrs D. MacDonald 2; Mrs Hoyland 3. Best fruit, Mrs Barr 1; Mrs Wilson 2; Mrs D. MacDonald 3. Best vegetable, Mrs D. MacDonald 1; Mrs Cooper 2; Mrs Wilson 3.
