CALF CLUBS ARE WORTHY OF EVERY PARENT’S SUPPORT

At this time of the year many children throughout the Bay of Plenty will be turning to calf club activities. The coming annual meeting of the Rangitaiki Plains School Calf Club deserves the support of all parents and anyone interested in encouraging a love of animals and farming in the young people. The past year has been very successful and with finance on a satisfactory level the club looks forward to increased activity and competition between schools. The Calf Club movement, states the chairman, Mr A. H. Adams, Thornton, is indebted to a long list of loyal supporters and judges and would v/elcome newcomers to the ranks, as many iflfembers have now reached the position of having no children attending school. To those who have been associated with the movement for a number of years, their reward has been in the marked improvement in the quality of calves brought out at calf club days at school and also at the annual combined school championship day held early in December. The circuit includes all schools ' between Manawahe and Taneatua and the addition of schools not already actively engaged is always welcome.

The annual meeting to elect officers and to define activities and rules for the coming year will be announced shortly and the committee hopes to see all schools represented.
