Flotsam and Jetsam

(By The Beachcomber.)

WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH OUR GIRLS?

Yes, that’s the answer – Marry them to our boys. But, and it’s a big but, our boys are beginning to look sideways at the question of getting “roped in,” as some vulgar young men term it. What! buy new boots, new stockings, new lingerie (sounds like fish!), new blouses (or jerseys),, and new hats, etc. once a month? “Never in your life!” says Gussy of the bank or Jim of the shipping office. “Can’t keep my own wardrobe up to dick, let alone having a dame on my hands.”

CHANGE OF FASHION.

Is there any real reason why girls (and some men, too) should put perfectly good clothes on one side and buy others, because some leader of fashion decrees it must be so. New fashions mostly originate in Paris, and it’s a pity they don’t stop there. “La Belle Pari” shares with San Francisco (leaving Port Said out) the unenviable distinction of being the wickedest city in the world. The damnable practice of checking child birth undoubtedly originated there, and it is to be hoped that our colonial girls do not imitate them in this respect, as well as in their hats, etc.

Now look, girls, this is a really good time to put your little No. 10’s down on this silly habit – I mean change of fashion. The present style of skirt and jersey is by far the most becoming and sensible that has been adopted in the past fifty years.  Of course, length of dress needs adjusting – a pair of pipe shanks doesn’t want advertising, or a set of understandings that would fit a full back. Neither should women over thirty be too much bound down, but as very few ever get beyond that age – or stick at it a good while – we can leave them out in our scheme of economy.

A LEADER OF FASHION.

I know a Hawke’s Bay young lady (not socially, of course) who did great work at the front. I saw her at Etaples, doing her bit in the “Lowry Hut” when I came down the line invalided. Now, if she would only take this matter up and organise a “Simplicity Club” she would be carrying on the good work.

At first sight it would appear that a movement of this sort would be a hard knock to the importer, but it would not work out that way. If merchants know exactly what was required, they could buy to advantage and be relieved of the constant dread of a change when they had a large stock on hand.

Now, Napier and Hastings ladies, “at the double” – let’s see who will be the first to give the rest of New Zealand a lead.

HOLD YOUR HEAD UP!

“Hold your head up! Knock that hump off! Swing that arm!” was the nice polite way the instructors requested you to march properly in the “Piccadilly” at Sling. Now, ladies, what most of you want is a thorough course of “setting up” drill. You don’t walk – you hobble – you get along somehow. “Here’s my head, the rest is coming” sort of style. A plumb line dropped from the point of your chin would touch the ground about a foot in front of your feet. It seems such a pity to see a perfectly formed girl getting along – her chin stuck out, shoulders drooping forward, hips wobbling, and arms hanging as though they belonged to a rag doll; or head thrown back, a defiant look, arms swinging so that they are dangerous to anyone in front or rear, and a stride of about 32 inches. Now, the arm swing and the length of stride both want modifying for ladies’ use.

It is the drooping shoulders and head carriage that need immediate attention, and I should like to see physical culture a feature of the “Simplicity Club.”

There is no reason why mixed classes should not be formed – there are plenty of young men growing up bearing the National Debt, by the rounded appearance of their backs.

INDIRECT TAXATION: CUSTOMS.

This is a favourite method of raising revenue from the poorer classes. It is quite right that everyone should pay their fair share of taxation and the responsibility of adjudging the proportion is left to our legislators. There is to be a readjustment, and the Prime Minster has another chance of showing whether he is a statesman, or merely the other kind of fellow. He missed one opportunity when he refused to put on an export duty equivalent to the extra war profit on our staple products.  “Check production” – “against the law of economics” Rot! The Straits Settlements raise the biggest portion of their revenue out of export duties, and have the finest roads and railways south of the line and were also able to present the Malayan battleship – all out of revenue – no public debt existed up to the time of the war.

However, to get back to our sheep, the Customs. Instead of leaving the work of re-casting the rates to a Commission consisting of Government officials and importers, would it not be fairer to the general public if a committee of housewives of recognised organising ability drew up a list of articles of food and clothing absolutely necessary; another committee of manufacturers to state what articles they are prepared to manufacture in the line of farm implements, household requirements, etc.; a committee of farmers to decide which of their requirements can be made locally, and what it would be necessary to import. Let all meetings be open to the press and public, and I feel satisfied that a tariff would be more likely to be framed that would give general satisfaction than the present underground system.

After ascertaining the real necessaries, it would not be a bad idea to revive the Sumptuary Laws of James I.  Stick the duty on to silks and laces, jewellery, etc. (except moderate-priced watches). Surely our girls can catch a husband without “rings on their fingers and bells on their toes.” Slap it on to white collars, cuffs, and shirts. Hit both sexes as hard as possible on luxuries. Motor cars will no doubt receive attention in any case. In short, an ideal tariff should aim at making the necessaries of life as cheap as possible, and the import of the other sort prohibitive, for as long as fal-lals and gee-gaws are hung up in the shop windows unthinking fools will buy them.  The duty on tobacco, if raised, will cause a boycott. Mr Rich’s advice is good, and personally I intend to give it a go. Half a pound of liquorice may prove a good investment. I started a Smokers’ League years ago – got about eighty signatures, when the list disappeared in a bar-room – swiped by a tobacconist, I suspect. What’s wrong with the Hawke’s Bay Tobacco Company.  Can’t they make “Dark Havelock?”

HASTINGS MANUFACTURING COY., MILLER STREET, HASTINGS.

The Hastings Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

IT stands where the old Bacon Factory once flew its flag, and for some time served a useful purpose, especially to those who fed a pig, killed it at home and desired it well cured. For some reason, like many other really useful institutions, it passed out, and we believe a fire one night put the finishing touch to it. – Peace to its ashes!

On the same site has arisen another industry –

A MARGARINE AND ICE FACTORY AND COOL STORAGE.

Which looks very much alive and looks like making a name for itself, and for Hastings. We have seen a few industries come, and for some inexplicable reason go, in the town’s life. This one seems as if it has come to stay, and if we were betting men we should feel inclined to “have a bit on” this horse.

The two men at the head are a good team, one full of energy and business capacity, who does not let grass grow under his feet, and the other man as a refrigerating engineer, who knows the technical side from A to Z, and with a long experience.

From the very best raw material, and under scrupulously clean conditions and rigid supervision, and according to Government regulations, they are manufacturing a big and growing output of Margarine for cooking purposes – “PURITY BRAND” packed in pound packages, and becoming well known from Auckland to the Bluff – perhaps even better than in the town where it is manufactured.

By the way, we were told a story not long since of one of our local industries which had a difficulty in persuading the local tradesmen to stock their output. The name and brand was changed, the goods sold to Auckland, and forthwith it appeared in the shop windows of the town of Hastings. That story may be apochryphal, or, shall we say exaggerated. Perhaps it has a modicum of truth in it. “Can any good come out of Nazareth?” is an old, far-away question, and yet how often is it repeated today. Hastings is our home town, and we believe in it, its possibilities and its future. Perhaps we are prejudiced, but we think its a finer place than Auckland, and that is saying a good deal!

We should like to see such an institution as “Our Home Town Industry Week,” with a fair, illustrating everything we grow and manufacture set up in the Assembly Hall. We would run it every year, so as to advertise ourselves. We make a present of the idea to the Chamber of Commerce.

Meanwhile, “to our muttons,” as the Frenchman says. This Margarine Factory, Ice Factory, and Cool Storage, right in the very heart of the town, is a live concern, doing a good and increasing business and planning larger extensions.

Because New Zealand has been a butter producing country, the Government never seems to have cared much for the growth of a competitor. The point, however, is – is it a competitor? Our opinion is that it is simply a complement. The Government says it will not allow the manufacture of this commodity for any but cooking purposes. Every other country in the world says you can butter your bread with it if you like. The present price, and probably the future price of butter is going to give it a big chance as a substitute for butter for cooking purposes, and this firm, by the production of a first-rate article, means to get a fair share of the business.

The finished article, as we saw it being packed into cases for dispatch, appealed to us in its purity and appearance, and we would not mind boasting to an Auckland shopkeeper that is a Hastings product.

We saw it in all its stages, from start to finish; raw product from the Whakatu Freezing Works, till it was packed in its white pine boxes. We gazed into every process and machine and room. We asked all kinds of questions from the firm and the workers, and we concluded this factory and its output was not going to shame the town of its origin. We reckon that when we have visitors this factory should not be missed as a show place.

THE ICE INDUSTRY

captures your imagination. This industry, and the whole engine plant, is under Mr. C. J. Hall, who has had 29 years’ experience with 17 years in cool storage. Ice is manufactured every day into business-like blocks, easily handled, and destined to serve very useful purposes in fish and butchers’ shops, for the making of ice cream, for preserving food, and many other things.

The firm intends developing this side of their business, and are perfecting their plans for placing in private homes ice chests at cost price, or on the hire system, or selling outright if desired. The price will be within easy reach of most people, and the saving of milk and food will recoup the cost of the machine in one year’s use. The firm will deliver the ice necessary every other day, and the cost of this will not run to more than 3/- per week. Add the loss on milk and butter running to oil, and a householder will soon realise the saving, and have in addition food that will always be fresh. In the hot weather the butcher and grocer has long realised the value and importance of a cool chamber. The desire of the firm is to convince the public of its use and value to them in the home.

Already they have a small chamber in the factory containing much private food such as fish, fruit, meat, eggs and poultry. This, to those in the know, has proved of great benefit. The charges are very small.

The Cool Storage Chambers are six in number, including one divided into five cubicles for butchers, and fully used in the hot months. There are three large rooms for the cool storage of fruit, with a present capacity for holding about 9000 cases, and plans are now being prepared for accommodation for 26,000 cases. In addition storage is provided for 900 cases of butter. One chamber for fruit has already been filled and emptied, and is again full, and next week will see the second one, with a 3000 capacity, filled, and then the whole of their space will be occupied. That such a building should be within five minutes of the business centre needs only to be mentioned to reveal its usefulness and service. The same advantage applies to its nearness to the Railway Station.

It is hoped to use the by-products in the manufacture of a good household soap, and for poultry foods.

The firm’s success is due not only to its high class productions, but to the business-like simplicity of its organisation. The men at the head of it know their business, and aim, and make a bee line for it. It is an economic axiom today that the countries that will count for most are those where the balance of city and agricultural life is most evenly balanced; the first to consume, the second to produce. The next line of prosperity for the country is that it shall manufacture and export; hence the need for the cities and towns of New Zealand that industries of all kinds shall be fostered.  Up to now we have had too many failures. We think the Hastings Manufacturing Company is going to be one of its successes, and the secret will lie a great deal in the men that are running it.

HASTINGS

LIKE Little Jim’s Cottage, the exterior of the Hastings Court House is “old and mean,” and though the interior is kept clean enough, that is the only compensation that the Justice Department can boast of.  The interior is shabby, the accommodation for the bar altogether inadequate, whilst the convenience for witnesses, many of whom have to hang about all day, at times in very wet weather, is a matter that never seems to have entered into the architect’s calculations. The whole show has been out of date for years, and there seems to be little hope that the Department will do anything to relieve a position which has been a cause of complaint. In addition to the crowding and discomforts of the building, the bar and press are being subjected, during the course of the hearing of indictable cases and the holding of inquests, to the clang and clatter of an old traction engine which, by a stretch of courtesy, is designated a “typewriter.” It is only those who have to submit to [to] the strain of listening intensely, for hours, in an endeavour to disentangle the confused utterances of witnesses from the rattle of this loose-jointed machine, who can appreciate the nerve racking experience. How the bench and bar stand it is difficult to say, but it may be taken for granted that the Napier Court would not be satisfied with a typewriter which is nothing better than refuse from the scrap heap.

The inquest on Mrs. Marian Baird, the unfortunate old woman, who had passed the allotted span of three score and ten, and who was found dead on a section in Avenue road last Friday night, revealed very sordid and shocking details, which one reads about from time to time with a shudder, but which only comes really home to us when the tragedy is enacted at our own doors. This poor creature shrieked loudly for help in the midnight hour, amidst a populous neighbourhood, whilst one of the gravest offences was being committed against her, but her cries, though heard by several, brought her no assistance. The post mortem examination, conducted by Dr. Nairn, disclosed that the old woman was suffering from valvular disease of the heart, as well as from a distended stomach, and that such excitement and struggling as she was subjected to, as revealed in the evidence, acting on the conditions of her heart and stomach, were sufficient to cause death. The man concerned, a young man about 32, in his signed statement to the police, admitted that he had gravely offended against her person, and that she resisted. He had, he said been drinking, and his passions had got the better of him. The unfortunate woman, he said, had also taken drink, but she was not drunk, nor was he. The coroner (Mr R. W. Dyer) returned the following formal verdict – “That the said Marian Douglas Baird died at Hastings on April 22, 1921, and that death was due to great excitement, acting on a diseased heart and a dilated stomach, and that the great excitement was caused by the fact that she had been raped by George Dunn.”

At the conclusion of the inquest Mr. Dyer sat in his capacity as Magistrate, and the man concerned, George Dunn, aged 32, was charged with causing the death of Marian Douglas Baird, thereby causing manslaughter.  Detective-Sergt. Butler applied for a remand for a week, which was granted, and he strongly opposed bail, which was accordingly refused.

Defalcations amounting to over £300 have been discovered in connection with the rates department of the Hastings Borough Council, with the result that, last Saturday afternoon, James Patrick Flinn, rates clerk, was arrested in Hastings by Detective-Sergt. Butler, in connection with the defalcations. Flinn appeared before Mr. G. Land, J.P., charged with, on March 11th 1921, while being a servant of the Borough Council, stealing £34/12/4, the property of the Council. Detective-Sergt. Butler said that there were other charges pending against accused, and he asked that Flinn be remanded to next Saturday. The application was granted and bail was allowed, accused in £400 and two sureties of £200 each. Bail was forthcoming. Flinn has been dismissed the service of the Borough Council.

There is a self-preservative instinct at the base of our mental constitutions, which bids us economise, and which, in its proper proportion, the prompting of this monitor is an excellent factor in our being. There are, however, cases where it exceeds its legitimate limits, and then it becomes an absolute vice. Perhaps there is no better illustration of this view than the pernicious habit that lareg [large] numbers of people have of hoarding up medicines purchased from chemists for passing ailments. A bottle of some nostrum is bought, and, after being used once or twice, is put away in the family chest for some occult reason, because even the person immediately concerned would not, if he had any sense, think of using the stale contents after the lapse of months, not to say years. Yet we see that people put away poisonous drugs, which, for a long while they have no occasion to use, with the disastrous results which are being constantly chronicled in the daily press. It must be presumed that these falsest of false economists, after paying their good money for these compounds, are disinclined to throw away stuff, which, however, is far better destroyed. It is only a few days ago that an infant in Hastings nearly lost its life owing to a wrong mixture being administered to him from a bottle which had been taken, in mistake, from an array of old medicine vials.

At the annual meeting of the Hastings Returned Soldiers’ Association, held last Friday evening, Messrs. B. J. Jacobs and R. J. Aldrich, of Palmerston North and Wellington respectively, did not hesitate to express their opinions – their unvarnished opinions – of the laxity of the Hastings members, who turned up in such small numbers to the meeting, and there is no doubt the position is disappointing from the point of view of the interests of the men and their dependents.   When the Association was founded its object was to organise the men, with a view to their acting in combination for the protection of themselves and those dependent on them, and it looked, indeed, as if the R.S.A. was going to become an organisation all powerful for the welfare of its members. There need be no fear that the R.S.A. will ever develop into a political organisation. It is composed of too many conflicting elements ever to do that, but, even without political status, if the members stood behind it, determined and united, the association would have a backing that would be irresistible. The R.S.A. has still lots of work to do, and it is the duty of every soldier who has seen service to stick loyally to his brethren by seeing that the Association does not fail in its job for lack of the support which it has a right to demand from every returned man in New Zealand.

It would seem that the vandals among the public are bent on discouraging the authorities in their work of beautifying Hastings. The Borough Council have now found it necessary to offer a reward for the conviction of those destroying ornamental trees in Fitzroy Road, and at the last Council meeting complaint was made that the gate at the main entrance to Cornwall Park had been broken. It must be admitted that this particular gate is not by any means a thing of beauty, but when the ornate gates, so long promised, are erected, it is to be feared that the class of people alluded to will treat them no better than those they have just smashed.

MY VIEW OF THINGS

(By Digger)

NOTHING to do, and plenty of time to do it in – sounds good, doesn’t it? “Bring me a cup of cocoa, Mary,” calls out the languid beauty of the house, resting her ten or twelve stone of adipose tissue (that’s good for a hobo) between the sheets at ten o’clock in the morning. “Light a fire in the smoking room, Jim,” sings out the boss, wondering whether he will go over to the club and have a look at that dog or mix one himself. The above may be a bit far-fetched, but we all know that there are a number of people who have suddenly become independent of work through the war. Some made money through big profits in handling our imports or exports, and others sold out their properties at a high figure, receiving either cash or sufficient cash to give a big margin and a mortgage the interest on which enable them to keep themselves and their families in a state of idleness.

JOY RIDES TO EUROPE.

No doubt travel is a good thing to broaden our view of life, and should be encouraged, especially for young people but the question has to be considered: Is it a fair thing to the country, at the present crises, for a man who has got his money easily to take the large sum necessary to pay expenses out of it? Would it not be better for himself and the community if he looked round for a property that wanted stumping, draining, and ploughing, put men to work, even if no immediate return could be shown – or to back up some other man, who is short of capital, to improve his holding.

THE PRICE OF BREAD.

A lady writer in your Women’s Column wound up her denunciation of the bread and flour position by saying that it would lead to revolution. There is no danger of bloodshed over the matter, but it is useless to deny that workers generally are in a very discontented state of mind, and liable to lend open ears to all sorts of cranks who promise a way out. Now, white bread is reported by scientists to be only a make believe food, and I would suggest that the recipe for the “War Bread” we had on the Western front be procured and one of the bakers, at least, be induced to make it by promise of steady custom. I found it nourishing and by no means unpalatable. The trouble was, we never got enough of it. Three to a loaf was bad enough, but when five had to get a divvy after prisoners were taken – well, there was room for more in “Little Mary.”

SUNNY NAPIER.

Yearly Sunshine Record – 2,500 Hours.

BOTANICAL GARDENS.

THE autumn tints are very lovely just now, and make the gardens well worth a visit at this season. Owing to the age of many of the trees and shrubs, this old garden gives splendid opportunity to the student of Nature to study some of the finest varieties in various stages of growth. One of the greatest and most frequent mistakes made in laying out a garden is that of planting forest trees in quarter acre sections. A man who really loves his garden will study the nature and growth of each plant before purchasing.

The one great drawback to our Botanical Gardens is the approach from the tram terminus – the natural means of transit for most of the people. Carlyle Street, bounded on one side by the old cricket reserve, now made hideous by Council works, is bad enough, but Chaucer Road, with its ill-formed road and rubbish-strewn vacant sections, is something to be reckoned with. It would be possible for the Council to make great improvements here, and to insist upon the owners of sections keeping their property in decent order.

Our gardens are a credit and a delight to the city, but what must be considered as the main approach is a disgrace to all concerned. How long is the one rail going to serve as a substitute for the gates that have recently rotted off their hinges?

PIRATES v. HASTINGS.

A most interesting game was played at McLean Park on Saturday last. During the first spell Hastings rightly had the best of the game, their combination, especially in the forwards, being excellent, but nearing the finish of the game their staying power gave out, and Pirates had an easy win. Hastings, take the tip – Pirates are training in the Y.M.C.A. gymnasium. Go thou and do likewise.

WOMEN’S REST ROOM.

There is little doubt that we are far behind the times in not having supplied this very necessary accommodation years ago.

Mr. R. C. Wright hsa [has] made a very good suggestion, namely, that one of the front rooms of the Municipal Theatre be used. This would be an ideal position, and the rooms are already fitted with every convenience required. Our theatre has been a white elephant long enough. This would, perhaps, be the beginning of a more useful era.

THE MUNICIPAL ROLL.

The condition of the municipal roll is nothing short of scandalous. Thousands of residents entitled to vote have been excluded from this privilege because their names do not appear on this apology for a roll. Knowledge of the people’s indifference on this matter should only serve to stir the authorities to definite action. The busy man and woman has not the necessary time to study municipal legalities, and it is high time the Council officials ceased to thrust the responsibility of a correct roll upon the public. We feel sure that ratepayers would have no objection to this work being thoroughly carried out by the Council. There is only one certain method, and that is to put a staff of men on and canvass every house in the Borough.  This matter must not be left in its present condition.

HOSPITAL MATTERS.

We have reason to believe that the Hospital store is now being run on excellent lines, and that Mr. E. N. Smith has proved himself a great acquisition to the staff.

Mrs. Wilson, who has been on the staff for nearly twenty years as laundress, has been compelled to resign her position owing to ill-health.

The nursing profession is evidently becoming more popular, as the Hospital Board have a very large number of prospective probationers to select from.

COAL GAS.

The local supply of gas has been very poor of late, and the manager accounts for this by the shortage of suitable coal. Rumour reaches us that the company do not like the price of Newcastle coal, and therefore hang back for the limited supply of the New Zealand product. This throws all the high-priced coal upon the merchant, who, of course, hands on the coal and the high price to the poor consumer.

High freights have made Australian coal prohibitive in this country, as is evidently the case in European ports, if cable reports are true.

SALE FOR REMOVAL.

The Fire Board intend disposing of the old Theatre Royal by selling for removal. We hope the inspector will protect the district into which it is removed by rejecting any portions infected by the borer. It is a scandalous thing that old buildings riddled with the borer should be re-erected in the suburbs, amongst new residences. This is the usual condition of affairs throughout New Zealand, but any practical person will admit the danger.

CLIVE MEMORIAL.

Clive is a very live little town, and gives us a lead on many occasions. This is especially noticeable in the matter of a Soldiers’ Memorial. The position selected for the monument is ideal, and will attract the attention, not only of their own townsfolk, but also of the numerous motorists passing through. The figure of a “Digger” with reversed arms has been cleverly sculptured from Auckland granite, and is a great credit to the artist. We congratulate Clive on her energy and sentiment.

THE FREE LIBRARY.

To the Editor.
Sir,- Your book reviews are both interesting and helpful, and I never fail to read them, but I am not flush with money, and have to depend largely upon the Free Library for the chance of getting some of the books referred to, and they are frequently not there.  I wonder how long it will be before this fine institution will have on its committee men and women of bookish tendencies. The building, thanks to the generosity of the late Mr. Carnegie, would grace any town or city, but it sorely lacks a library spirit, it is a house without a soul. There is no atmosphere in it. In these days we hear a good deal about “aura.”  I wonder if any of those people who affirm they are gifted with the power of seeing “a soul” ever tried their hand on the Free Library? May I suggest the experiment.  From enquiries made I find that this institution is under the control of the Borough Council, and this body appoints a committee from its numbers to govern it. The members already chosen have been good and worthy men, whom we all esteem, but no one would ever charge them with having a knowledge of books, hence the shelves are filled anyhow, with anything, and usually the superficial and fleeting. Has it ever occurred to the Council that there are man [men] and women in the town who, while they have no fitness as Councillors, would be pre-eminent as co-opted members of this committee, and would render the community a valuable service, and be glad to do it?  Whatever the Councillors know about streets and sanitary matters, it is certain they know absolutely nothing about books. This fine institution is being wasted to-day, because it is being so badly handled. Let the right men and women sit on its committee and it can be made to quadruple its usefulness as an intellectual centre. It is surely the right meeting place for the Workers’ Educational Union lectures, and other lectures of the same class. Then, again, the Librarian should be a Librarian, and not a charwoman.  What I mean by that is that no one holding the position of Librarian should be required to sweep the steps and wash floors.  It is time this side of our municipal life was overhauled.- I am, etc.,
LOVER OF BOOKS.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH HASTINGS?

To the Editor.
Sir,- The town of Hastings has had some shocks lately, shocks that should do something towards waking up its citizens to a sense of their duties and responsibilities.  The latest incident I must not comment on, because it is sub judice.  But it is a fair thing to say that what has happened only goes to show that there is a good deal of slackness somewhere. I do not desire to put one word of bitterness into my letter to you, and merely to find fault is the cheapest of all criticism. I do not wish to impute blame to either the Mayor, Mr. George Ebbett, or the Council.  They have done their work honestly according to their light, but, all the same, some of us feel that there are a lot of screws that can do with tightening. In the conduct of our affairs there seems to be a spirit of indifference and drift. The Borough Council is the responsible authority, and no one else. It is no use girding at officials; that kind of think savours of baiting men who, from their official position, cannot hit back. Fortunately we have some very fine candidates, men who can be trusted who are fearless and capable, and I suggest, through your columns, that if men of the type of Messrs. White, Duff, Clarkson, Hamilton, Fowler, French, and Sutherland are returned it will be incumbent on them to ask for a searching inquiry as to the way in which every department is carrying out its duties. Are the various heads taking their duties seriously, and are these heads showing a capacity for their jobs? It seems to me that the time has arrived when we should have less Mayoral and more Council government, that is committees with chairmen who will have responsibility and power. Up to now, if I have had a complaint to make, I am told to see the Mayor. I object. I want to see a man who has charge of that particular department, and see if a remedy cannot be found. If a by-law seems to be stupid or press hardly on me, I am urged to see the Mayor and he will help me to get round it. I don’t want to get round it. I may want it rescinded, but not to break it. If by-laws can be got round then there is “something rotten in the State of Denmark.  We want stiffening. We are all under an obligation to the men who give their time to town government, but we do ask that they will govern while they are in power, and the men who hold the reins firmly and fearlessly will be most respected. Those who merely want votes and office are no use to any town. The men who will speak, vote, and control regardless of popularity or return to office will confer the greatest benefits.- I am, etc.,
ANTI WASTE.

HIGH CHARGES – ARE THEY JUSTIFIED

To the Editor.
Sir,- The most interesting item for discussion at the present time is the cost of living, also the fall in prices of all kinds of goods, which tend to ease the living wage. Now that things are reaching their normal stage, the public naturally expect that the present high charges in certain lines would be adjusted to suit the times. Take the case of the hairdressers  The tonsorial artists rose their charges fifty per cent. Has there been justification for so doing? I say, decidedly, no. Let me review the position. Every hairdresser in Hastings employs not less than one hand. Admitting that their wages have increased to £5 a week, from 90/-, the old award, an increase of ten shillings per week. Putting the turnover of the hairdressing saloon as averaging £20 per week, the fifty per cent. increase in charges would bring the weekly returns to £30, so that the public are paying £10 a week more to satisfy a ten shillings rise in the assistant’s wages. The average turnover that I have quoted may be a long way out. The principle still remains – does a ten shillings rise in wages justify a fifty per cent. rise in hair cuts and shaving. These are matters that require to be adjusted. The only remedy is to turn Bolshevik, and let your hair grow, as a shave and a hair cut for 2/3 is a decided luxury.- I am, etc.,
HICKAPENNY.

WANTED, A TOWN MANAGER.

To the Editor.
Sir,- I believe the many readers of The Broadview will fully endorse everything contained in your article in last week’s issue, “A Town Manager, or What?”  If ever any borough in this Dominion needs to be thoroughly re-organised, Hastings is that town. The unfortunate event of last week is only one of many instances which show the slackness and want of system controlling business affairs in Hastings. There is only one cure for the state of chaos that Borough matters are at present in. The remedy is a thoroughly competent Town Manager, given free hand to put municipal affairs on business footing.- I am, etc.,

PRICE OF ELECTRIC CURRENT IN HASTINGS.

To the Editor.
Sir,- According to the statement at the Borough Council, the cost of producing current at the power house is 2.7d, and the price to consumers 8 ½ d per unit. Surely someone has made a mistake. The discrepancy is so great that an explanation must be forthcoming. If both figures are correct, then the price to consumers is too high, and a case should be stated to the Prices Investigation Board as one for inquiry. It is to be hoped that the new Council will ask for some explanation.- I am, etc.,
CONSUMER.

TREE PLANTING

This is a duty that we owe posterity.  We are just waking up to the fact that we have squandered one of God’s greatest gifts. Where, now, is the magnificent forest that once extended from Woodville to the Wairarapa. A portion has gone into houses, telegraph poles and fence posts, and the balance into ashes. Only old-timers can remember the “Seventy-mile Bush.”  How much better and wiser it would have been if we had only taken those trees that were fit for cutting and left the younger ones to mature. Land fit for the plough could have been cleared and stumped, leaving the hills as reserves.

Let us outline a plan which will afford employment to a number and also prove a sound investment, and that is to form a company to acquire an area of land facing the lagoon that extends at the back of the Inner Harbour. A suitable form of plantation would be the badge of the 9th Hawke’s Bay Regiment, i.e., a stag’s head. Each town could undertake the planting of a section. Napier, Hastings, and Taradale, being the nearest, should undertake the main portion, the outlying towns being allotted smaller sections. It would be a war memorial, and at the same time serve a useful purpose. Not only each town and district could do its share, but each family who suffered losses could plant trees in memory and have them suitably marked.

A Territorial and Boy Scout camp could be established on the property and part of the most useful portion of military training – i.e., the use of the entrenching spade – obtained by digging holes for trees, terracing, road-making, etc.

Nelson has taken up tree-planting as a commercial undertaking, and Hawke’s Bay should not be left behind. There is no reason why the Hawke’s Bay Patriotic Society should not invest a portion of their funds in the scheme. It would provide employment for a number of returned men, many of whom took on instruction in tree propagation and planting at the Ruakura Farm of Instruction and at the tree-planting camp at Waiotapu, thinking that the knowledge gained would be useful in earning a living – a vain thought, as it turns out. The modern farmer thinks more of slashing down native timber and burning it than of planting trees that he cannot see his way to use in his own lifetime. A few – like Geo. Beamish and Mason Chambers – are thinking of their children and their descendants, otherwise it is a case of “Eat, drink, and be merry, for to-morrow we die.”

Sports and Pastimes

(By “Sport.”)

Communications for this column will be gladly welcomed.

FOOTBALL

Counter-attractions kept many people away from Nelson Park on Saturday afternoon, but the lure of the sport still held good for a very excellent crowd. Those who attended got their money’s worth, for the match between Te Aute and Havelock-Waimarama was almost as good and certainly just as exciting as the opening match, Celtic v. Te Aute, on the previous Saturday.

The game was not as fast as on the previous Saturday, and this seemed to be one of the reasons why Te Aute did not show to advantage. In the first spell they were well beaten, and the wearers of the blue and black really earned their score of 6 points. With the score against them, it was expected that Te Aute would rally in the second spell, and they did. At the finish they were going much better than at the start, and had the game lasted another five minutes they would probably have proved the winners. The passing rushes which were set going by the Te Aute backs were a real treat to watch, and the two tries which they scored were the result of some very pleasing work. Selfishness seems to be a fault which the Te Aute players do not lose until the game is well on its way towards the end, and had they thrown the ball about more in the first spell the result may have been other than a draw.

Havelock-Waimarama in the first spell played a very fine game, and even though Te Aute were unlucky in not beating them, the fight they put up stamps them as being a solid combination, which will take some stopping as the season progresses.

There were no “beg-your-pardons” in the game, and the referee had to send a player from each side off for rough play.

It seems a pity that there should be any reason for rough play. In fact, there is no necessity for it at all, and players should bear in mind that indulgence in this sort of thing does their team harm as well as themselves.

TOO MUCH TALK.

Another matter which should not be overlooked by the referees is that of so much talking by players during the game. Talking was very much in evidence in the above match, and also a lot of appealing by the players. The rule is one referee to one match, and the awarding of free kicks to the opposing sides in the case of these appeals will soon put a stop to the practice.

TAKING THE FIELD.

Still another matter which is worth looking to by the captains of the various teams is the manner in which the players come on to the field. Some of the terms [teams] line up in single file and march decently on to the field, and it must be admitted that this looks a whole heap better than fifteen players straggling on to the field in any old way at all. This matter is worthy of the attention of the Rugby Sub-Union, who should certainly make some move in the right direction.

PIRATES’ LUCKY WIN.

The bad luck which dogged [t]he footsteps of the Hastings senior team last year has evidently not left them, for it was very much in evidence in their match with Pirates at Napier on Saturday. This, however, was not the sole reason for their defeat, for lack of condition was a big factor, just as it wac [was] on the previous week against Havelock-Waimarama. Proof of the fact that condition told is found in the play of the first spell and at the beginning of the second. Hastings had the advantage in the first spell, their forward play being very prominent. This enabled them to lead at the end of the spell by three points. The second spell at the start provided a stirring contest, and Hastings more than held their own, but when the end was near Pirates had matters their own way.  The next round, however, may tell a different tale, for with more training and better condition the Hastings pack are capable of beating the best in the district.

NEXT SATURDAY’S MATCHES.

Next Saturday’s matches are as follows:-

Senior.- H.S.O.B. v. M.B.O.B., Kautuki v. M.A.C., Celtic v. Havelock-Waimarama, Te Aute v. Hastings, Pirates a bye.

Junior.- H.S.O.B. v. High School, Celtic v. Hastings, M.B.O.B. v. Technical Old Boys, Havelock-Waimarama v. Te Hauke, Pirates a bye.

Third Grade.- H.S.O.B. v. Pirates A, Te Aute v. M.A.C., Celtic v. M.B.O.B., Hastings v. Technical Old Boys, High School v. Pirates B.

Fourth Grade.- Pirates v. Hastings B, Technical College v. Hastings A, High School v. Havelock-Waimarama, M.B.O.B. a bye.

Fifth Grade.- Pirates v. M.B.O.B., Technical College A v. Technical College C, High School v. Technical College B.

BOXING

“Success” was the keynote of the Hawke’s Bay Boxing Association’s Tourney in Hastings last week, and the greatest part of this success was due to the great fight put up between our local lightweight, Paul Hannah, and Alex. Mussen. For ten rounds these two lads pegged away at each other, and the result was that they gave us the best professional contest yet put on in Hastings. It is an open question as to who won, and the decision of the referee, Mr. W. E. Grant, in making it a draw just about sums up the whole position. There was nothing between them, and if a return match is ever put on in Hastings it will draw a great crowd. Rumour has it that the Wellington Association is endeavouring to match the pair.

It is also reported that the newly-formed Boxing Association at Wairoa is matching Mussen with Ern Baxter, the clever featherweight who accompanied Hughie Dwyer to Hastings.

The contest between Hughie Dwyer and Mick Rutherford was also a good one, but there was not the same “go” about it as in the other fight. Dwyer was undoubtedly the cleverer boxer, and as a result of his win has now been matched with Frank O’Neill at Napier on May 9th. Frank O’Neill recently defeated Jack Keenan for the lightweight title, but this title will not be involved when he meets Dwyer, as the latter has not been resident in the Dominion for the required period, six months.

The Garden

HORTICULTURE.

THE Lapageria is well known to most English gardeners, professional and amateur, and very rightly is most highly prized for its distinctive beauty and rarity. There should not be any excuse for its being seen in the temperate portions of New Zealand lying between Wellington and Auckland. Of this area Hawke’s Bay should suit the better. The Lapageria is not generally known, not being an ordinary, everyday plant with a nickname. It was discovered about the middle of the eighteenth century growing as a climbing shrub in the shades of Chili [Chile].  It was named after Josephine Lapageria, who was a botanist of high rank at that time. In the Old Country Lapagerias are nearly always treated as greenhouse climbers, and as such when in flower they are the most beautiful that exist. The flowers are a richly-tinted rosy crimson, wax-like, pendulous bell, about three and a half inches long and two and a half across. They are produced at the apices of the branches, and in the exils [axils] of the leaves on the upper portion of the growths. The blooms are produced in great profusion, and will remain in perfect condition, retaining their full beauty, for several months, if enjoying sufficient shelter from winds. The flowering period is from midsummer to the end of autumn. An easterly aspect, against a wall, is the most suitable position for planting in these parts, and more especially if the site receives some shade. Light frosts are not injurious to the Lapageria, and it succeeds best in a cool temperature, with early morning sun and shade in the summer time, while as to soil conditions, sand, vegetable fibre, and loam in equal parts, with good drainage, is necessary for success, and a plentiful supply of water is very important, while the young, supplejack-like growths are being made. These growths require training and tying as they grow, owing to their great succulency. It has to be remembered that the Lapageria is not a climber, but must be grown as one. There are only three varieties, the rosy crimson, dark crimson, and pure white, known as L. Rosea, L. R. Superba, and L. Alba. The three can confidently be recommended to those of our readers who are keen garden lovers and like something that is rare and really exquisitely beautiful.

Lotus Peliorhynchus, commonly called the Pigeon’s Beak Flower in its native home at Teneriffe, is worthy of attention, and grows magnificently well here at various altitudes, and in almost any situation or soil. It is seen at its best in the rock garden or hanging over the edge of a wall or rocky face. It is of trailing habit, and will grow in arid conditions if established during the rainy period. It grows all the winter, and should be planted during the autumn. From now onward is a good time to plant. The manner of its growth is pleasing and a decided decoration, the foliage being of a glaucus [glaucous] tint, and the leaflets spreading tnd [and] fascicled, as it were. All this, apart from its blossoming and smoothing itself with a blaze of rich scarlet and continuing to grow for years, should find for it an everlasting tenancy in even the ordinary garden.

VEGETABLES.

Asparagus, sometimes erroneously termed sparrow grass, requires attention just now. Asparagus was so named owing to the most of the family possessing strong prickles, so situated as to have a tearing tendency; the name being derived from “a,” intensive, and “sparasso,” to tear. The seed-bearing growths will now be carrying a quantity of red berries. These are very pretty and useful for house decoration. Whether used for that purpose or not, they should be cut and removed away from the bed to prevent the seed falling thereon. If this is permitted the seed germinates, and goes unnoticed, and in a few years the beds become crowded, and the growth inferior, and necessitates the breaking up of the bed and re-laying. Remove only the seed-bearing growths, allowing the remainder to ripen and die down, which they will do during the next few weeks, when cultural directions will appear in these columns. For those desirous of planting this vegetable, now is the time to prepare the ground by trenching two and a half feet deep and dressing the sub-soil with coarse bone dust, as coarse as obtainable, quarter-inch ground bone is the best. When preparing the ground keep the sub-soil where it is, and give two pounds of bone to one square yard. A six-inch layer of semi-decayed garden refused will be of great service if laid between sub and surface soil. Thus treated, allow the ground to remain rough and open until further instructions appear here.

THE ORCHARD.

The autumn is considered a slack time in the orchard. This is true as far as spraying operations are concerned, but the successful orchardist finds no slack time, and sets to work well in advance to prepare for another season. In saying this, the sharp frosts experienced lately remind us of the necessity of preparing for a late visit from one in the spring. There is always a danger of late frosts following early autumn frosts, and if our friend Clement Wragge is right in his predication that we are going to have a dry winter, we can surely expect late, stinging frosts as they are always more severe when the ground is dry. Now is the time to think about getting in coal supplies. Remember the coal shortage last spring. No doubt suitable coal will be just as difficult to get this year. In addition to coal, a supply of dry firewood should be collected and stored ready for use. The high prices ruling for peaches and plus this year should encourage one to go in for more systematic firing. It is admitted that the high prices for stone fruits were influenced somewhat by the short crop from Nelson, but nevertheless payable prices should obtain for Hawke’s Bay stone fruits, as many orchardists have gone out of them.

Movie Notes

(By Cinema.)

MANY people were disappointed at not seeing more of Nola Luxford, nee Miss Nola Pratt, of Hastings, in “The Figurehead,,’ but, as I pointed out at the time, this was her very first picture.  News is to hand by the latest American mail that Nola Luxford is playing opposite Carmel Myers in “The Mead [Mad] Marriage,” and as an indication of the forward strides this young lady has made, I quote the following from “The Close-up,” the official organ from Movie Land:  -“A feature of the Universal Picture, ‘The Mad Marriage,’ was the work of Nola Luxford. It seems there is a dearth of good intentions among picture producers right now. They feature the bad and leave the good work to be identified by others.”

This certainly bears out my previous statement that we may expect to hear any day that Nola Luxford is a star in her own right. If “The Mad Marriage” is in New Zealand, will the local management kindly endeavour to sceure [secure] it without delay, that we may judge for ourselves?

Business Notes

On page 10 of this week’s issue Messrs. Westerman and Co.’s main advertisement enumerates special lines of schoolboys’ wear – tweed suits, tweed shorts, jerseys, flannel shirts, hose, hats and caps – all at their Famous Low Prices. Other special items appear in their scatter advertisements.

Baird’s, the drapers, Heretaunga street, are advertising special reductions of 25 per cent. off certain goods, and 15 per cent. off others. See advt on page 4.

The H.B. Autos are advertising on page 6 that they have been appointed agents for Hawke’s Bay for the “Hart” Starting and Lighting Batteries, suitable for all kinds of electric lighting. They have installed a plant for re-charging purposes. The battery is an English production of a high class, and well finished make.

Allen and Harris, the house furnishers, of Napier, are advertising a fine window display of down quilts suitable for winter use and comfort. This house is noted for its high-class goods, their finish, and moderate price. This house has set itself an ideal in everything, and never lowers it. It is a pleasure to recommend it to our readers.

Blythes, of Napier is now a household word, and need very little recommendation. To call attention to its advertisement on page 20, and its new list of prices, meets the position. This firm always satisfies its customers and ensures their return.

Millar and Giorgi, on page 19, notify their customers and ladies in particular that they are making an absolute clearance of their stocks of hose. Everything in this line has to go, and the prices at which they are offered should ensure a thorough clearance. It is an opportunity which should not be missed.

You will oblige and help The Broadview by referring to it when making your purchases. We need this small service, and trust you will render it.

Notes about Motoring

Anything of interest to motorists in general will be welcome from contributors for insertion in this column.

I stepped into one of the new motor garages this afternoon, and found the owner and his mechanic hard at it on repairs. He was quite satisfied with the work he was getting, and informed me he had refused the agency of a good class of car. He argued that as few cars were selling at the present time, he felt he was free from a good deal of worry and responsibility, and I felt inclined to agree.

A little further along I came across a fine example of the Cole Aero 8, an eight cylinder, 7-seater, 70-h.p.  There was a look of power in it; it had a kind of rake about it, and looked like a car that would get there somehow, no matter what the obstacles. The people who can give you all the information are Newrick Bros., Karamu Road.

All the garages report plenty of repair work.

The Tourist are getting their fair share of sales of new cars, while the repair shop in in full swing. They have just [?]and [land?] a new model F.N., the first to arrive in New Zealand. This car is absolutely Belgian throughout the finished article, but Mr. Hyslop says the body finish is not a bit superior to what can be turned out by themselves. It looks as if the New Zealand made and finished body is going to be a big industry, and the Tourist will set a high standard. The proof of their new shop will very soon be an accomplished fact.

Powdrell Bros., in Market Street, are very busy on electrical work of all classes as a sort of addendum to their motor industry. It is their intention to develop[e] this side of their business.

The Tyre Repairing Co., in Station Street, are going full pelt. It is an ill wind that blows nobody any good. Everybody is rushing them with tire repairs and retreads. In addition to this the people of Hastings seem to have discovered that they can get hot-water bottles repaired, and everything in the surgical rubber lines. Fishermen are bringing in their water waders and other people their gum boots. Even tobacco pouches are being made good and new, in fact, anything and everything in the rubber line that has gone “crook” appears to be finding its way to this rubber hospital, and nothing seems to come amiss. I am going to test them with a pair of old rubber boots, and if they can make them sound, then there is no job on earth that will beat them.

THEFT OF A MOTOR CAR.

FOUND UPSET AT MEEANEE.

The robbery of Mr. Hassell’s motor car from the Hastings Racecourse last week, and the discovery of it near Meeanee, with a man underneath, seriously injured, calls for some comment. In the first place we presume the men who took the car call themselves “sports.” We call them blackguards, absolutely devoid of any moral sense. In this instance they “borrow” or steal a car, and a man to whom they may have simply given a ride, gets smashed up, and is brutally left to die for all they care. We sincerely hope he recovered and can give the police sufficient information to lay these “sports” by the heels, and we also hope that a severe sentence of imprisonment will follow.

These motor car crimes are becoming intolerable, and up to now some people have only seen them as a “joke.”  It is no joke if you own a car to have it lifted, or damaged, or parts stolen, anid [and] usually by a type of individual utterly unable to pay compensation.

If your car has been taken and damaged, and you have to foot a big bill, while the thief probably is fined, what satisfaction is that to you? Your neighbours, perhaps, are sympathetic, but they do not offer to share the cost; that is your affair; their sympathy does not cost them a farthing.

The Automobile Association should deal with this growing class of offence, and press for imprisonment without the option of a fine. At the same time we are surprised at the way valuable cars and their contents are left on the race-course or outside shops or down side streets, absolutely unprotected, when a shilling will provide safe storage and responsibility. It is like fire insurance at a small premium of one penny in the pound sterling. We shall have to recognise it sooner or later that an unprotected car is advertising for trouble. Why not hang a card on the front saying that the owner will not be back for two hours, and that a valuable rug is inside?

“More Essential Than Ever
WONDERFUL VALUE IN MOTOR CARS.
The Spirit of “Carry-on,” of course, is mingled with prudence, as is shown by the very keen demand at reasonable prices.
Used cars whose history and good usage are well authenticated are more in request than ever before and the following cars we have for sale are of exceptionally good value and of known history:-
ROAMER 5-seater.
A six-cylinder car of exceptional quality. This car was purchased from us, when new, by Mr. A. J. Toogood, and we allowed Mr. Toogood £475 for same in part payment for a Studebaker Light Six.  We have since thoroughly overhauled and re-painted the Roamer at a cost of £50, and now we are asking £525, and the car is mechanically as good as new.
ARROL-JOHNSTON 11-9h.p.,, 3-seater.
This is an English Car that we recently took in part payment for a 5-seater F.N. Car which we sold to Mr Clere, architect, of Palmerston North.   We allowed Mr Clere £275 for this car, and now we will accept £275, and it is a great bargain at the price.
BUICK 3-seater 6-cylinder.
We recently took this car from Dr. Storey, of Hastings, in part payment for a Studebaker New Light Six. We allowed the Doctor £450, and will accept this price for a quick sale.
STUDEBAKER 3-seater, 25-h.p.
A very economical model, and very roomy, and just the car for a small family, and all are well protected by the windscreen. This car has been exceptionally well cared for and the former owner, Mr. A. E. Knight of Taradale, recently purchased from us a New Light Six Studebaker. We allowed him £275 for the 3-seater, and will now accept this price from the first cash buyer that comes along.
1 FORD 5-seater.
Colonial body, detachable wheels, self-starter etc., £275.
We have, in addition to the above,  REGAL 3-seater at £225; an English PERRY at £400; a STUDEBAKER LIGHT SIX 1919 MODEL at £525; and a 2-seater SAXON at £200; also a 25-h.p. 1913 MODEL STUDEBAKER at £210.
