Following a discussion on the raising of funds to erect a fence in front of the church in Stout Street, it was resolved that a shop day be held in Mrs. Hyde's shop on June 10. During the afternoon Mrs. Lester called upon Mrs. Parr, who has held ofiice as secretary for a number of years, but who had to. relinquish her duties on account of ill health, to accept a gift as a, mark of appreciation from members. A presentation was also made to Mrs. E. Jones, who is shortly leavi'ng for National Park. Mesdames Parr and Jones suitably teplied and thanked the members for their kindness.
