"Queen" Carnival At Motneka
The Motueka R.S.A. Hall, scene of many a community sing and venue for the raising of funds for parcels for the boys overseas during the Second World War, is being demolished to make way for more modern premises in keeping with a club charter. But before the old hall fell, the R.S.A. had a final fling, with an auction and "Queen" carnival. The "Queens" were well-known identities. (John P. Sharp Studio, Motueka).
The Army "Queen" (Max Watson) shrieks with delight (ladylike, of course) as he, er, she is congratulated by the Navy (Malcolm Thorpe) and Air Force (Arthur Robson) "Queens".
Reminiscent of the old "Uncle Sam" poster "We Want You" is this pic of "Brick" Simpson and Darcy Evans as they auction some "priceless" object.

A gracious smile for the camera from Queenie Watson after being crowned by Mrs G. Manifold (with a smile like that she's asking to be crowned).
