With the publication of this, the second issue of “Photo News”, the publishers wish to express their appreciation of the great interest shown in the introduction of this magazine.
The heavy demand for copies immediately the first issue was on sale, confirmed the belief that such a magazine would prove popular in Hawke’s Bay. We trust that with an ever increasing number of local pictures in each issue, the magazine will be welcomed regularly in every household.
Apart from our daily newspapers, there are no other publications which circulate through all sections of the community, and it is our hope that “Photo News” will enable many worthy organisations to receive additional publicity which we feel sure they merit. If we can contribute something towards stimulating a wider interest in the community activities of many of our own citizens, we are sure that we will be fulfilling a valuable purpose.
To the many booksellers and others who helped us so much to introduce “Photo News” to the general public we are extremely grateful.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO
One of the most ambitious undertakings in the Hawke’s Bay Centennial celebrations was the re-enacting of the landing of the first settlers. Hundreds of men, women and children, both Maori and Pakeha, took part, all dressed in the costumes of 100 years ago. Despite choppy seas the “first” settlers had an enjoyable trip and they delighted the many thousands of people who had gathered at the Iron Pot to welcome them. It was an unqualified success and congratulations must go to the many people who helped in the organisation of this remarkable historical display.

When the settlers had settled themselves on the beach, the Reverend Colenso (Alan Paine) addressed them, welcoming them to this new land. Some of the younger fry seem slightly bored with the whole business.
The Maori lads were a little exuberant and inclined to take off with everything in sight, causing some consternation.
A fearsome sight.

A LARGE STAGE AND A LARGE CAST
Nevertheless everything went very smoothly, thanks to good organisation and the only things out of place, were spectators who went down on to the beach.

The Maoris went to a lot of trouble and played a major part in the re-enactment of the landing. Admittedly, they didn’t wear much, but what they did wear was in keeping with the setting.

NAPlER’S CENTENNIAL PARADE
One hundred years of progress is something that really calls for a celebration. In Napier the opening day of Hawke’s Bay’s Centennial celebrations featured a parade of floats highlighting the achievements made in the province since the arrival of the first settlers. The floats were many and varied, gay and colourful, some showing life as it was in 1858, some depicting the present day, and some foretelling the future. There was a record crowd, drawn from all over the province, lining Napier’s main streets long before the first floats came into sight and the applause left no doubt of the appreciation of the effort and ingenuity required to produce such a wonderful spectacle. The floats, the marching girls, the clowns, trick cyclists and the bands all worked together to make it a day we will long remember.
Page 13
ABOVE. The Chinese section provided something really outstanding in their entries.
Many and varied were the grandstands used to get a better view of the parade. Some were organised well in advance (BELOW), some were utilised on the spot (ABOVE RIGHT), and many people carried theirs to a quiet spot.

Voted one of the best floats in the Centennial Celebrations Parade, the Pirates Football Club showed just what can be done by enthusiastic team Work. The Crew’s handling of the ship was very realistic, even to firing broadside from its cannons in McLean Park.

The Department of Health is providing a much needed service with its mobile X-ray unit and fortunately the public is taking advantage of it. A few minutes spent going through this unit may save you a lot of suffering, and as the whole process takes less than one minute, it can hardly be called wasted time. While the machine is not built for children the Department will X-ray children from 7 upwards with their parent’s consent.

LABOUR DAY SPORTS, CLIVE
You’re only as old as you feel. Mrs. Kitt, of Hastings, the winner.
The annual Labour Day Sports at Farndon Park, Clive, this year were considered the best ever. Entries were extremely good in all events, and there was a fair mixture of serious competition and good fun.
The carnival atmosphere throughout kept the large crowd happy, and the rain kept off just long enough to make it a perfect day’s outing on a holiday weekend.

Determination is the thing, not how you’re dressed.
Page 27
Variety is the spice of life and the Labour Day sports programme could certainly claim variety. Entries from both individuals and teams came from many different centres in Hawke’s Bay. The wide choice of sporting activities gave everyone a chance to join in the fun.

SCOUTS CAMP

HASTINGS FLOODS
A torrential downpour recently flooded the busy main streets of Hastings, and although traffic was not disrupted to any great extent, most drivers used extreme caution negotiating the streets which had rapidly taken on the appearance of canals.

2ZC TAKES TO THE WATER
Piped around the baths by Doug Thoresen playing the “Lament’
Radio 2ZC, Hawke’s Bay’s Commercial Station, has during the last six weeks been responsible for the raising of over £300 for charitable purposes. The greater portion of this money has been collected through stage shows such as “Talent – H.B.” and the extremely popular “Anything Goes”. Recently however 2ZC proved that it is not necessary for them to present shows of this size to help the less fortunate. Three of their leading announcers, Amos McKegg, Neville Chamberlain and David Ford, as the result of “breakfast session” challenges, took to the water fully clad and thereby attracted a crowd of over a thousand people to the Maddison swimming pool, Hastings. £23 was raised for the intellectually handicapped children at Hohepa Home and this will be used to give them an extra special Xmas party.
When asked to comment Senior Announcer Amos McKegg said, “All credit is due to Greater Hastings and the Heretaunga Swimming Club for their invaluable co-operation with 2ZC and representatives of the New Zealand Broadcasting Service.”

HAVELOCK NORTH CENTENNIAL OPENING
The Havelock North Centennial Celebrations opened with a big splash at the baths in Havelock North. This was particularly fitting as funds raised during the celebrations will be used to enlarge and improve the baths. The organising committee for the centennial celebrations planned a week of festivity and the support given on the first night left no doubt that the people of Havelock North were right behind them.
ABOVE. A photo showing the beautiful setting in which the carnival was held.
BELOW. Races held throughout the evening gave an indication of the high standard that will be seen at Havelock North as the season progresses.
Page 35
Diving, whether it is plain, fancy, or humorous, always provides great entertainment and the large crowd at the Havelock baths really appreciated the high standard shown by the troupe of visiting divers.
The grace and beauty of good diving, is displayed by the two divers pictured on the left, while above and below grace and beauty has missed the boat somewhere.

It was particularly pleasing that one of the guests during the celebrations was Mrs. Hislop, a great grand-niece of Maj.-Gen. Sir Henry Havelock, K.C.B., after whom Havelock North is named.

OPENING OF MEMORIAL GATES, TE MATA PARK
Lovely Te Mata Park in Havelock North, given to the people of Hawke’s Bay in 1927 by the late John, Bernar and Mason Chambers, was the scene of an impressive ceremony.
The ceremony held was the dedication and opening of a memorial gateway at the entrance to the park, donated by the Chambers Family in memory of these three public spirited men who made such a generous and beautiful gift to the province.

Many thousands attended the gala Guy Fawkes display held in Anderson Park, Havelock North.
The Havelock North Citizens Association are to be congratulated on the smooth organisation, which made the display such a complete success and gave so many children – and adults – a great night.
That they did have a great night can be seen by the looks of joy and wonder, and sometimes apprehension on the faces of the children pictured on these pages.
Unfortunately fireworks are not always treated with the respect they deserve but members of the St. John Ambulance were always on hand to attend to minor injuries.

GALA DAY. HAVELOCK NTH
The Gala Day at Havelock Nth provided plenty of fun for all. The highlight of the day was the Hula Hoop Competition and most spectators were amazed at the ease with which children from toddlers to teenagers could manipulate the gaily coloured hoops.
It would be hard to say just how many times how many hoops went around how many turns, but the winner, Joy Ward, kept it up for over 5000 turns. Joy is pictured below practicing [practising] for the competition.

A line up of Havelock North children.
A grand crowd of children, wonderful weather, and plenty of organised games and competitions, all combined to make the Children’s Day at Havelock North a complete success. The fancy dress parade brought to light a number of really brilliant costumes and altogether the children present voted it a day to be remembered.

RODEO
The annual rodeo held at Meeanee recently, attracted top riders from many parts of the North Island as well as many local competitors, and as usual they provided many a thrill to keep the large crowd entertained, the spectators being fully appreciative of the particularly high standard of riding.

RECEPTION TO GOVERNOR – GENERAL IN HASTINGS
A very important civic and social event which took place in Hastings recently was the civic reception tendered to His Excellency the Governor General, Lord Cobham, and Lady Cobham. The Municipal Theatre was most attractively decorated for this glamorous occasion of glittering jewels, lovely evening gowns, and formal wear for the men. His Worship the Mayor officially welcomed Their Excellencies and expressed the hope that it would not be long before another visit could be made.

AERIAL DROPPING
The usual method of delivering posts and battens into back country areas, inaccessible to motor transport, is by pack horse at the rate of four posts per day, per horse. Recently the Moeangiangi Station managed by Mr. F. Radcliffe, in the Putorino district, experimented with an entirely new method for Hawke’s Bay, and used aerial dropping with great success. A Beaver aircraft from “Field Air” Gisborne, piloted by Mr. Gerald Oman, delivered 600 posts and 3000 battens in under five hours, and the “drop” of 20 posts or 100 battens a time, took place five miles from the airstrip.
Robt. Holts Ltd., Napier, had treated and supplied the posts and battens, and their Timber Sales Manager, Mr. Ken Trevor, closely watched the operation. The company considered the experiment such a success that they now produce a specially treated post and batten for aerial dropping purposes.
