THE SHOWMAN SUPREME

IMAGINE asking anyone m Hamilton if they know W. H. Paul and being *■ met with the reply: "I dunno him." Well, there are some things one cannot imagins — and the Hamiltonian who knows not W.H.P. is one of them.

For Paul loves his Hamilton- and his Waikato and. never loses an opportunity of shouting their glories to the w v orld. As a publicity agent for the town and district, he is the supreme showman. But it must not be imagined that his service is all of the lip variety.

Not at all. He has a finger m practically every pie that has as its ingredients, civic spirit, social |6etterment, beautification and boost. Secretary of the Winter Show, he is the, last word on what's doing at the festival. He is also very actively, associated with the beautifying society, domain board, the technical school board, the improvements of parks, river banks, and what not.

He it was who inaugurated the annual seaside holiday scheme for poor children. There is nothing m the district m which he is not interested. In short, he tackles the impossible and is always ready to give anything a go. When he does have a few leisure hours, he seeks repose with rod and line, for he is a keen angler and a good, sport generally. .
