VALEDICTORY.
At the conclusion of business,
Captain Fred Cox asked members to
drink a health to Mr. Harry Burn
ham, who was leaving shortly for the
metropolis.
Captain Cox stressed the good
qualities of the guest, who had not
only been a good R.SJL.. man bat a
good citizen. He congratulated Mr.
Burnham upon his advancement and
hoped that he would become associat
ed with a metropolitan sub-branch
and carry on the good work.
The president (Mr. H. W. A. Tylor)
then handed to Mr. Burnham a hand
some cigarette case, which he said
carried with it the very best wishes of
members. Mrs. Fred Higman, as well
as decorating the club room for the
occasion, had sent along ar beautiful
bouquet, which the president asked
Harry to present to his good wife
| with the compliments of the sub
j branch and Mrs. Higman.
| Replying, Mr. Burnham said the
two years he bad spent in Katanntng
had been very happy ones. He liked
the town and he liked the people. He
had done what he could for the sub
branch and would be only too pleased
if he could render further assistance
whilst he was in the city. He was go
ing away, but nothing would stop him*
from coming back to the Diggers'
Golf Day next year. Also, he hoped to
meet a lot of Ka,tanning Diggers on
the New Zealand tour in 1940. He
thanked members sincerely for the
handsome souvenir, which he would
treasure very much.
