FARMERS’ UNION
NEW PRESIDENT CAPTAIN RUSHWORTH ELECTED USEFUL SERVICE IN FUTURE (Special Reporter) AUCKLAND, Friday Captain H. M. Rushworth, M.P. for Bay of Islands, was yesterday elected Auckland provincial president of the Farmers’ Union. The unsuccessful candidate was Mr H. O. Mellsop, president for the last five years. "After ten years in Parliament, I look forward with keen interest to the coming year, which I hope will be de-
voted to something useful," said Mr Rushworth amid laughter. Mr Rushworth is not seeking reelection at the parliamentary elections this year. He has been a member of the Auckland executive of the Farmers’ Union for the past 12 years.
A resolution, moved by Mr Rushworth, recording appreciation of Mr Mellsop’s work, was carried with acclamation.
Two vice-presidents, Messrs J. H. Furniss (Ruawaro) and A. White (Waiuku), were elected unopposed. Further officers elected were: Honorary treasurer, Mr A. McGonaughy (Paparoa) ; executive members, Messrs A. C. A. Sexton, M.P. (Manurewa), A. E. Lambert (Otakiri), H. Mason (Te Kuiti), H. J. Angus (Tauranga) and C. A. Moore (East Tamaki).
