WHAKATANE SHOW

GOOD EXHIBITS ' EXAMPLE OF FERTILITY OF BAY OF PLENTY FURTHER PRIZE LIST

(From

Whakatane, Thursday. This year's winter show ds certainly a credit to Whakatane and its district. The town itself has been gaily decorated with bunting while the Whakatane 'Citizens' Band and the junior hand have added to the uttractions inside the show buildings by playing on the chief days. An innovationi at this year's show is the special class for New Zealand Women's Institutes. This met with quite a good response. There were eight entries some of them from as far afield as Tauranga., Welcome Bay (Tauranga), Edgecumbe, Matata and Otara ( Opotiki ). This section has been a bit cramped for space, which is a pity as there are some good pieces of work which would loolc all the better for a little more room. The Farm. Section In the farm and garden sections the root crops were well represented and were 0^ excellent quality. Vegetables are to be ;seen in profusion, entries having been received from a very wide area. The judges must have found their work diffieult as all the exhihits were of a high standiard. The fruit section is not so larg.e as one would have expected, but what is lacking in quantity is more than made up in quality. The professional bakers' and the dairy companies sections have both drawn a fair number of entries.

Children's Section The school exhibits of which' there is a large number are very interesting. The examples of drawing and colour work show promise and some of the show cards and posters are quite original as well as artistic. The plasticene modelling has not attracted the children of the older classes, lapparently, .but the younger ones have done some quite good work' in this medium. The mecanno models are quite igood and the handwork exhibits by both boys and girls have some interesting articles among them. The prize winners must have required a high degree of application iand patience. The sewing and cooking classes speak well for the housewifely attributes of the rising igeneration and in a few years some of the older exhibitors will probably have to look to their laurels. Needle Work and Art The needlework and art' section is particularly good this year iand there is a splendid number of entries in both white and coloured work. There are many entries whieh are so dainty and of such exquisite worknmnship as to rnake one feel that they simply would not dare to use them. For those who admire articles of this kind there is plenty here to make them envious. Among the arts section there are some outstanding examples of such homecrafts as Pewter work, coloured poker work, brass, leather and sealing waxwork. The humble sugar bag is also worthy of mention in this class as it has been so decorated and adapted as to be almost unrecognis-

able. Maori Section The Maori section, although quite small, has some good work in it and there are three very fine greenstone meres as well as two good wh'alebone ones. A cmodel of 'a carved canoe shows that the native race is still capaible of turning out some of that fine work for which it is so justly famous. Jams, Fruit and Wines The section for home-made jams, bottled fruit and home -made wines has not drawn nearly so many entries as one would expect, but those that have completed appear to the layman to all belong to the same class — the best. The tearooms are being very capably run by the ladies' committee and mention should certainly be made of the secretary, Mr. J. Arres, whose office in the show building is beseiged from morninig to night with requests for everything imaginable, pencils electric fittings, prize money, complaints and so on, but Mr. Arres manages to come up patient and Smiling through it lall. The general arrangement of the show and its onganisation is a credit to Whakatane and the town shoulcl be proud of having such ia capable. committee.
