Notes - Farewell
GISBORNE GAZETTE Friday 11 January 1924
MR AND MRS PAYNTER FAREWELLED
in congenial surroundings and amongst many friends, Mr and Mrs Paynter and family were accorded a complimentary send-off in the Gisborne Hall onFriday, 4th inst., prior to their departure for Warrnambool, where Mr Paynter has purchased a printing business. The gathering was a veryrepresentative one, and Cr. J. H. Beattie, in the unavoidable absence of President Bawden, presided over a most successful function. Harmony anddancing occupied the attention of the guests for the major portion of the evening, but most interest was centred in the presentation to Mr and MrsPaynter from the residents of Gisborne of a beautiful and costly case of stainless steel cutlery suitably inscribed.
Cr. Beattie, in making the presentation, said he regretted they had met to say good-bye to one of their most popular townsmen. He (the speaker) knewhow difficult it was generally to fill public positions successfully, but the gentleman they were honouring that night had filled with credit themany public offices he had held. (Applause.) on behalf of the Shire Council, he wished to acknowledge the fine interest Mr Paynter had taken intheir doings. Council meetings were not always pleasure and sunshine, but Mr Paynter had tactfully glossed over their shortcomings in his reports.In his departure Gisborne was losing one of its most respected citizens. (Applause.) They were also losing Mrs Paynter, who had always taken a keeninterest in public gatherings and whose willing help was always forthcoming to help make their local affairs a success. (Applause.) they werelosing two whose places would be hard to fill and whose absence would be keenly felt. On behalf of the residents and Council he had much pleasure inpresenting the gift to Mr and Mrs Paynter, accompanied with the appreciation and good will of the Gisborne residents. (Applause.)
Mr J. Slattery, on behalf of the Mechanics' committee, spoke of the many improvements carried out in the institute in the four or five years MrPaynter had been connected with the committee. His whole-hearted support had certainly helped the committee in a marked degree; but Mr Paynter'swhole heart was in everything he did, yet he never advertised his good work.
Mr Paynter was a busy man, yet he found time to associate himself with anything for the benefit of the place. Mr Paynter's donation of two boundvolumes of copies of the early issues of the "Gisborne Gazette" we're a valuable gift to the institute. It was a source of pleasure to see such afine gathering present to do honour to a worthy businessman, and the wish of all them all was that their guests would have every success inWarrnambool, where they were going. Mrs Paynter was a great helpmate to her husband, and her assistance in many public affairs had endeared her tothem all. (Applause.)
Mr C. Swinburne, president of the Progress Association, said he felt he could but poorly express the feelings of regret the members of theassociation had at Mr Paynter's departure. He was one of the leaders of the association, and was always prominent in its doings. He was not ashamedof the association's work, and helped it unsparingly with his pen, and also with pick and shovel when necessary. (Applause.) And Mrs Paynter - allpower to her - was always ready an willing to help the place he lived in, and he was leaving Gisborne a better place than he found it. What morecould the people require to prove that they were good citizens? Even little Jimmy tried to do his bit - (laughter) - and Miss Doris [sic] could beseen handing round refreshments at the working-bees. (Applause.) Mr Paynter had helped the Gisborne higher elementary movement in every way, andhad the gratification of seeing this great thing for the district an accomplished fact. (Applause.) They were leaving with the highest respect ofeveryone. They were Paynters who had helped to paint the town in right colours, and the memory of their good work would long remain. (Applause.)
Mr W. Whipp (who had successfully carried out the secretarial duties of the evening) spoke on behalf of the sporting institutions. Mr Paynter, hesaid, had helped every sporting society in the town. Football, cricket, and sports (of which he was the first secretary) all received valued aid andunstinted support from Mr Paynter, who did his best at all times to foster true sport amongst them. (Applause.) In Mr Paynter's departure he waslosing a personal friend and one of the best he ever had. He wished both Mr and Mrs Paynter success in their new venture. (Applause.)
Cr. Beattie said he would like to refer to the success of the Horticultural Society, which was due to Mr Paynter, who capably filled the importantposition of secretary, and whose place would be hard to fill. Mr Paynter was the originator of the friendly meetings of the Gisborne and Meltoncouncillors. This annual reunion was a credit to him, and should be encouraged. Such gatherings helped to advertise the places, besides creating acommendable good feeling amongst those participating. (Applause.)
Mr Paynter, who received a very cordial reception on rising to respond, said that, judging by the lavish praise bestowed, the speakers had evidentlyall enjoyed a good Christmas dinner, and were full of good cheer and charitableness. (Laughter.) In his dealings with public matters he had tried topromote harmony, and felt pleased he had succeeded. His work with the progress association was one of pleasure. It was composed of a fine body ofmen, who had done good work; but he claimed no praise for the little he had done. It was the committee of the Horticultural Society, which wasresponsible for its success. The other ladies had set Mrs Paynter such a good example that she felt it a duty and a pleasure to assist. With muchfeeling Mr Paynter thanked them for their valuable and handsome gift. It would always remind them of their many Gisborne friends and the happy timethey had spent amongst them. (Loud applause.)
The company then rose and sang "For They Are Jolly Good Fellows," and gave hearty cheers for Mr and Mrs Paynter and family.
Vocal items were rendered during the evening by Messrs Whipp, Pinney and Brocchi, and Miss Mary Kiely pleased with a violin solo. Mrs F. Slatteryplayed the accompaniments in a finished manner, and Mr T. Ladd supplied the music for dancing, Mr Veal played an extra. The ladies supplied daintyrefreshments, which appealed to the palate of the most fastidious.
