Conference Prizes

The Manutuke branch of the Maori Women's Health League once again did extremely well in the competitions held in conjunction with the league's annual conference at Tunohopu in Rotorua recently. Altogether branch members took 12 first prizes in cups and trophies plus innumerable piacings. Mrs Lena Farmer was the delegate responsible for taking the entries through to the venue and setting them up.
