RAMA RAMA

RAMA RAMA FLOWER SHOW A BUCCE3SEDL EXHIBITION Despite the stormy weather there was a good attendance at the Rama Rama Patriotic flower show and industrial exhibition, held in the Rama Rama Puhlic Hall on Wednesday. - Although the building is a small one for such a purpose the brilliancy of the flowers and exhibits staged, combined with the display of the flags of the British and Allied nations, the room presented a distinctly cheering appearance. Indeed the whole exhibition, which included an industrial and home section, was. a credit to the district.

In the flower, fruit and vegetable sections the exhibits were of a highclass order, the flower section being well sustained with some magnificent specimens, especially in carnations and sweet peas. In the children's flower and vegetable exhibits the productions showed that the juvenile members took a deep interest in outside garden work. Of potatoes there were some evcellent specimens, the collection of Mr S. Ballard being noteworthy. In the onion section Mr E. Bamford's exhibit, for which he gained Ist prize, was a remarkably good sample. Mr E. Allan acted as judge of flowers and vegetables and Mr W. T. Baker judged the butter and eggs section. In the cookery section the exhibits were far above the average and the judge (Mrs J. H. Webb) had no easy task to make the awards the plain scone section in particular containing excellent specimens. Mr Harry Fox look Ist prize in this Department winning it against lady competitors. In school cookery the children evinced much skill and the display was a creditable one. In the industrial section Mrs Johnson capably acted as judge and the specimens shown, especially in photography, were all most creditable.. The needlework section was well supported and the work on view was of a high-class order. Specimens of drawing by the school children deserve particular commendation. Tea was served under the superintendence of Mrs Sharp, while Mrs For assisted by Miss Margery Richards and Miss Lela Sharp nad charge of the lollie stall. The services of Mesdames Pilkington, Shove and Sharp were also appreciated in various departments connected with the show. With Mr H. Pilkington as President the executive consisted of Mesdames W. T D. Sharp, Oldham and Pilkington and Messrs F. Ballard, W. C. Biker, W. Bell, S. Chilton, W. J. Sharp and Trimmer, all of whom, assisted by many willing workers, did much loyal service to make the show a success Mr Mark Ballard once again proved his ability as hon. secretary and his arrangements lacked for nothing.
