OUR COVER PICTURES
Front Cover. Our cover picture this month is lovely young Leigh Rowell, who, with Judith Anne Pritchard, has won a scholarship to the Summer Ballet School in Wellington.
Back Cover. Three miles past the Tarawera Hotel on the Taupo side, one comes upon this little shelter, which has been built by members of the Napier Rotary Club. The shelter should prove very popular with Taupo Road travellers as it is set in a very pleasant little picnic spot.
We think this young fellow is the unrivalled youngest Go-kart rider in New Zealand. He is three-year-old Maurice Leonard, of Clive, who received the go-kart for his birthday in October, and can‘t keep off it, and has a well worn dirt track on his parent’s lawn. Maurice was a fast learner and had mastered the machine with only a mere few scuffles with mum’s flower beds. He is pictured with his father (who built the machine), in action on the front lawn.

CRIPPLED CHILDREN ENTERTAINED
Crippled children from all parts of Hawke’s Bay were entertained at a Christmas Party, organised by the Lions and Rotary Clubs and the H.B. Branch of the Crippled Children’s Society, early in December. The party was held partly in the Taradale Kindergarten and the Football Club Gym. This is the first time a party of this size has been arranged, and by the look of all the happy faces, it was a huge success.

The battle for Kuripapango goes on and the convoy of troops pour across the new bridge in Exercise Reflex I.
The Army blundered slightly when they discovered three prisoners hiding in the woolshed on the Kuripapanga [Kuripapango] Station. They were dragged unceremoniously from their hiding place in the woolpress and forced to lie face down in the sheepyards with their boots off for two hours. An intelligence officer finally questioned them and found they were not “enemy guerillas”, but farmhands from the property. Sandy McRae and the farm manager, John Laking, are seen in the sheepyards under heavy guard. They took their incarceration in good part.

Firemen entering the burnt-out shell of Mr. Joe Cook’s small upholstery workshop in Hyderabad Road, Napier. By the time the brigade arrived the shed was a blazing inferno. They put out the flames before they spread to a nearby joinery shop but were unable to save anything of Mr. Cook’s. He was away at the time.
Station Officer Jim Downing of the Napier Fire Brigade directs a jet of water into smouldering hemp and stuffing in an upholstery workshop in Napier. The workshop, owned by Mr. J. Cook, was completely burnt out on November 16th.

Keeping a watchful eye on the photographer this four-foot long Monitor lizard was captured in Pakowhai Road, Hastings, recently. According to authorities on wild life, the specimen is that of the Australian Monitor and could possibly have arrived in the country in a shipment of wood. The lizard, weighing about 8 pounds, has a skin with merging shades of grey, green and brown.
ROADSIDE CLEARER
An ingenious variation of the common road grader, this device owned by the Waipawa County Council was recently hired by the H.B. County. It is seen at work near the old Napier Park racecourse. It straddles the line of grass and earth left by the grader, gobbles it up with a rotary action in the front and carries it up on a conveyor belt to spew onto the back of a truck. It can keep a stream of half a dozen trucks working.

Each has been in the Movement for 51 years and both are in their seventies.
Screaming ambulance sirens, a road block and St. John Ambulance brigadesmen tending to injured accident “victims” in the roadway, gave an air of reality to those who saw the carefully planned simulated accident. It was all part of a practical exercise to test the worthiness of the St. John brigadesmen.

Hastings sporting arena at Nelson Park took on a new appearance this month when the works committee erected the new modern wire mesh fence along the Karamu Road boundary. The old iron fence was removed immediately. The new fence, sited some fifteen feet further into the park allows the large decorative trees to remain in their present position on a grassed verge.
