WOMEN’S DIVISION
SUCCESSFUL MARKET IN MASTERTON. WORK OF ARMY SEWING GUILD. The Women’s Division of the Farmers’ Union held a most successful market at the Rest Rooms, Masterton, yesterday. The stall was in charge of Mesdames Tarbet, C. H. McKenzie, G. Temple and Miss E. Bennett and brisk business was transacted. At a meeting of members presided over by Mrs C. C. Jackson, a motion of sympathy was passed with Mrs Ken Groves in her illness. The sewing guild, working under the National Utilisation of Waste organisation, was busily engaged in repairing Army clothing. The guild i meets each Friday. The idea of mending the clothes is to give them a longer lease of life and to enable the woollen mills to catch up with the demand. The loan of a knitting machine would be appreciated by the guild as feet have to be knitted for a great number of good sock tops which have had the worn feet cut off. The guild offers as a tip the waxing of washed wool so as to keep the yarn even.
