Founders' Society a real historical membership start, our Wairarapa districts of Masterton and Greytown (founded in 1853-54) alone should keep the ball rolling, not only up Io the respective centennial dates of their own settlement founding (March. 1853. and May. 1854) but even with accumulating membership strength, the second century of New Zealand settlement, as well. Wishing tonight's meeting the success it deserves. —I am. etc.. N .1 E Master-ton March ftl
