With the Branches _ Auckland.-The October social even--ing sponsored by the new Social Committee, with the President, Mr. Burr, as host, was an unqualified success in the opinion of the record attendance of

members. During the evening trophies won during the season were presented to competition winners. Another excellent attendance was recorded at the November business meeting, when a welcome home was extended

to Ern. Porter, who has been absent from town. Attention is drawn to the displays of verifications being arranged. These will no doubt attract the attention of the public, over 600 being on view. Whangarei reports some close placing in the competitions. At the half-way mark the leaders are Messrs. D. Saies, H. McKenzie, R. Roycroft, S. Ruddell and J. Langridge. Social activities have not been overlooked during the month, though it is reported that one or two members hold a "monopoly" in this section of branch activities.
