MONTHLY MEETING The monthly meeting of the Awaken W.D.F.U. was held in the Awakeri Hall, Mrs N. Carter presiding over a fair attendance. The creed was said and correspondence dealt with. An afternoon arranged by others than committee members was held. A quiz conducted by Mrs Allen resulted in a win for Mrs C. Wilson’s team whilst a wall competition evoked even more interest. The climax to a novel programme was the rendering in costume of the song “Red Riding Hood” by some of the members who were warmly applauded. Afternoon tea and a hearty vote of thanks to all who had made the meeting a success concluded the meeting. Competition results were as follows:—Best fruit: Mrs Barr 1, Mrs

D. McDonald 2, Mrs N. McDonald 3. Best flower: Mrs Barr 1, Mrs Luke 2, Mrs Roberts- 3. Best vegetable: Mrs Robins 1, Mrs D. McDonald 2, Mrs McGougan 3. Three best Iceland poppies: Mrs Roberts 1, Mrs Brizzle 2, Mrs H. Jensen 3.

TE TEKO BRANCH Last Tuesday the Te Teko branch of the Women’s Division of the Farmer’s Union held its monthly meeting in the Te Teko Hall. After opening the meeting with the reading of the Creed the president, Mrs Pryor, welcomed two new members, Mesdames Costello and Lyons. Among other business discussed was the selection of the following delegates for the next Provincial meeting: Mesdames A. Jamieson, W. Hutton and J. Carr. It was decided to forward a donation of- £2 2s to the appeal for Lepers and Orphanage Appeal. It was decided that as the November meeting would be the final one of the year it should take the form of a social afternoon and Mesdames Newman and Carr undertook to manage a Hallo’een party for the occasion. The roll call ‘A Helpful Hint’ brought forth many useful suggestions for easing the ! housewive’s burden. The demonstration on mop making, given by Mrs Peck of Otakiri, proved most interesting and many members decided to make one for themselves. Mrs Peck was accorded a hearty vote of thanks for her demonstration. Competition results were as follows: Best bloom, Mrs A. Jamieson 1; Mrs C. IJallett 2. Two lettuce, Mrs J. Cannell 1; Mrs Jamieson 2. The serving of afternoon tea brought a pleasant afternoon to a close.
