Flowers and Fun at Mapua

The Mapua Hall presented an animated scene one Saturday evening last month when the hall society and Ma-pua-Mahana Women's Institute staged their annual flower show. All sections, which included vegetables, children's work, fancywork, preserves and photography, were well-supported and there were some fine blooms and decorative displays. During the evening the institute entertained the public with a mime and a tableau, both of which were well-received.

Living in an apple-growing district it was not unusual to find that the tableau presented dealt with this product.
