A general meeting of the Carterton group of the Boys and Girls’ Agricultural Clubs was held in the P. and A. Rooms, Carterton, on Friday. Mr M. J. Parker, Dalefield, presided. There were also' present Messrs E. Rayner, W. Daysh (West Taratahi), C. Jensen (Waihakeke), L. Humphries (Clareville), and the secretary, H. J. McKenzie (Carterton). Apologies for absence were received from Messrs Fisher and Smith. The following rules were drawn up for the coming year: That the prize money for calves and lambs be 4s, 3s and 2s and for yearlings ss, 3s and 2; that there be a class for care and handling for children under St. 2 and one for children over St. 3; that the Shorthorn, Friesian and calves of doubtful breeds be grouped in one class. This was brought about on account of the very low entries in these three groups; that the winners of the championships be given a trophy to the value of 15s, any extra expense to be the responsibility of the winner. All children showing their calves or lambs at Carterton receive Is each. Some years ago all calves entered were marked and it was decided to again bring marking into force, the committee from the various schools to a,, be responsible for such marking. W'" Parents are invited to bring their lunch, cups, etc., and children their cups to the demonstrations. The committee will find hot tea, cold drinks, etc., and so that as many parents as possible can attend it was decided to hold the judging on a Saturday. All children who showed calves last year are invited to show last year’s calves in the yearling class, not only at the group judging but at the Wairarapa P. and A. Show, which puts on a class for calves shown in any calf club judging. The new copies of the Wairarapa group publication were handed out, and any school who requires a copy is requested to get in touch with the secretary. SAVAGE CLUB INTERESTING LECTURE.

A large number of the members of the League of Mothers attended the church parade at St Mark’s Church yesterday morning. The Rev W. F. Stent chose the sth Commandment, “Honour thy father and thy mother, that their days may be long in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee,” as his text. He stated that history disclosed that the people of those countries where parents were held in high esteem by their children retained their countries the longest, namely, the Jews, Chinese and the Greeks. Every child that was born had the possibility of entering into eternal life, and this was the parent’s respon-
sibility. He did not believe that crime amongst young people had increased, but that we failed to realise how many and greater were the temptations of today compared with those of 40 or 50 years ago, before the advent of electric light, good roads, and footpaths, gaily lit shops, rapid means of transport, etc., came to attract young people from their homes. It remained with parents to endeavour to grasp their children’s viewpoint. More beautiful babies were born today than ever before, and it was our duty to see that their souls were made aS beautiful as their bodies. The League choir lead the singing. Personal Items.
