BLOOMS OF SUMMER A SPLENDID ARRAY. METHODIST FLOWER SHOW. The main hall of the Winter Show buildings presented a brilliant appearance yesterday, when the Hawera Methodist rose and sweet pea show opened. The hall was transformed into an exquisite garden, with arrays of beautiful flowers and hosts of prettily decorated stalls laden with good things. Great pains had been taken in the decoration of the stalls, and rarely have so many been seen in Hawera with such snlendid decorations. At the entrance to the hall the numerous stalls were arranged, the next section being occupied by the flower show, and further on a room was set out for the afternoon tea service, which was in charge of ladies of the church. The stall-holders were: Work stall (senior Bible Class), Mrs. Rowe and Miss Wilson; cake stall, Mesdames Saunders, Burrell, and Foy; ladies’ auxiliary stall, Mesdames Dixon and Oxbrow; produce, Mesdames Tozer and Rae; flowers, Mrs. Curtis; men’s stall, Messrs. S. J. Catran, A. Wainwright, and C. Murch; sweets, Mesdames Swan and Robinson; kitchen, Mesdames L. J. Williams, T. Williams, and Knightbridge; old English fair, Mrs. Hill (peg-woman), Mrs. Boucher (apple and ginger bread), Miss Hulbert (fancy), Miss Hill (zoo), Miss Hunt (spinning wheel); competitions stall, boys’-club; fruit salid and ice cream, Miss Squire; bran tub, Mrs. Barron. There were several very fine displays of flowers as follow: Mr. Percy Thomson (Stratford), rhododendrons; Mr. C. Goodson (Hawera), rhododendrons; and Mr. Mills (Normanby). The show has undoubtedly been an unqualified success and a great deal of credit is due to the untiring work of the secretary, Miss D. E. Bates, and the business manager, Mr. W. Crompton. The splendid manner in which all members of the church co-operated, particularly the ladies, is also worthy of mention, and this contributed in a large measure to the success of the show. The official opening was entrusted to Mr. H. G. Dickie, M.P., who was introduced by the Rev. W. J. Oxbrow. The Rev. Oxbrow, in introducing Mr. Dickie to the large assembly, said he had been conversing with an expert during the afternoon and he had been told that exhibitors could improve their roses bv 90 per cent, by packing them with leaves. Mr. Dickie said he always remembered the show, because it was his first public function after his election to Parliament. “It is no doubt a wonderful exhibit when- the weather conditions in Taranaki during the last two months are considered,” Said Mr. Dickie. The number of flowers on exhibition showed that many people had sheltered gardens. Mr. Dickie referred to the many pleasant customs with flowers in different parts of the world, instancing Honolulu and the battles of flowers on the Riviera, in which he had taken part. An interest in flowers was a refining thing, said Mr. Dickie. In opening the show he expressed the wish that it would be attended with as great success as last year’s show. The Rev. Oxbrow then complimented the workers of the show on the wonderful display. The points prizes were awarded as follow: Rose Class.—First, silver rose bowl presented by Messrs. Blair and Sellar, Mrs. J.

CREDITORS’ MEETING LAPSES. A meeting of creditors in the bankrupt estate of Douglas Melville, formerly a sharemilker, of Tirimoana, and now a labourer, of Hawera, was summoned by the D.O.A. (Mr. R. S. Sage) to be held in Hawera yesterday, but the meeting lapsed for want of a quorum. The only creditors present were Mr. Arlidge, representing Goldstone and Patterson, and Mr. W. Butler. Bankrupt and his solicitor were present. There were no assets and the total deficiency amounted to £B2 18e 6d, being made up of unsecured debts listed as follow:—Galloway and Sons (Normanby) £6 15s, Mr. Walker (Normanby) £5, HoweGiles (Normanby), £4, Mr. Hair (Normanby), £6, Goldstone and Patterson (Hawera) £7, Newton King (Kaponga) £lO, Damson and Kehely (Kaponga) £lO, Palmer (Manutahi) £4, Newbery (Hawera) £1 10s, C. C. Stauners (Eltham) £3, Spuxdle and Fraser (Kaponga) £2, A. H. Foy (Hawera) £l, Morrissey and Co. (Hawera) 9/6, Nurse Wills (Hawera) £lO Ils, Mr. Butler (Hawera) £5, L. Bell (Hawera) £2, J. Towers (Eltham) £3, Sheehy (Eltham) £l. Bankrupt’s statement was as follows: “Most of my debts were contracted in Normanby, where I was formerly contracting in partnership with my uncle. I then owned three horses, a plough and other gear. In 1924, however, work started to fall off and about two years ago I dissolved partnership and sold two of my horses and the gear at a great loss. The other horse died I was considerably in debt when I left Normanby and I have never recovered from this, and although I have cut these debts down a great deal, I have fallen into debt elsewhere. After leaving Normanby, I went to Okaiawa, where I worked on wages. From Okaiawa I went to live at Ketemarae Road where I took what day work I could get. I was out of work for a long time whilst living there and later went to work on wages for a farmer at Rowan and later again at Whakamara. On December 28 last I took a job sharemilking for James Foy at Tirimoana, but I got very little money out of this job and left it last July. Since then I have been living in a cottage at Ketemarae Road and I do what day work I can get which, however, is very little at the present time. I have a wife and two children to support and can make no offer to my creditors.” Questioned by the D.O.A. bankrupt said that during the last six months while he was milking, he barely earned enough to purchase groceries. He had no bonus returns and was satisfied that nothing more was due, though the landlord had given no statement. The factory had closed and the farm had gone back to grazing, which necessitated his removal and the loss of the coming season’s sharemilking. The meeting then adjourned sine die.
