A late 1952 letter from J. E. Montgomerie in Greytown Wairarapa to Mr Dills discusses health stamps first day covers, mentions friends Bill Cooper and Mrs A Armstrong, and shares family news. It notes Mrs Montgomerie’s hospital stay, describes spring foliage, potato and vegetable prices, imports, and NZ social programs with 40 hour week and child benefits. The writer observes NZ prosperity and high work standards, compares costs abroad, and sends regards to friends and Ettie.
The writer describes three days of rain, floods lines and roofs leaking, then attends the Royal Winter Fair. Horses, livestock, and a varied flower show impress with new features like a Miniature Royal display of tropical fish and insects. Films by the National Film Board are praised, and a disappointing lunch costs $1.50 each.
A holiday style dress captures attention with polished black fabric and sparkling rhinestone buttons. The piece suggests mixing large jewelry pieces for decorative impact while cautioning against overloading to avoid a garish Christmas tree effect.
A group suggests WI women operate a lunch room at the Fair similar to the Ploughing Match.
