It was also stated that the question of a stock drive had been left in abeyance in the meantime, as the Dunedin Committee was working on this scheme. Mrs J. R. Gilmour was elected to take full charge of the fair to be held in October. The Drama Circle is going to stage a concert. Some of the school children were_ endeavouring to run a concert in aid of Hie funds, and it was thought that it would be possible to combine their items with a community sing. . -
