MEMORIAL AT KAIHERE
• BUILDING BEING ERECTED. PAVILION AND LIBRARY. Finality is being reached with the project, commenced many years ago, of providing a memorial to the men from the district between Torehape and Patetonga who gave their lives for their country in the Great War. A building is now nearing completion at Kaihere whicji will serve as a pavilion for the local domain and as a public library, and which will carry a marble tablet recording the names of the soldiers who left the district never to return. The war memorial fund has been augmented for the purpose by grants from the Domain Board and the Library Committee, and several odd sums of money which have been collected in the district at different times have been made available. The building, which is of wood, and comprises a room 24ft long by 16ft wide, and a wide verandah overlooking the tennis courts, stands on a hill in the Public Domain, and though the site is now overgrown with fern, it is the intention of the Domain Board to improve it and make the surroundings in keeping with the memorial.
