Y.M.C.A. OPOUTAMA GIRLS CAMPS

Started last year, the Y.M.C.A.’s Holiday Camp for girls at Opoutama proved such a success that it has now become an established part of the Opoutama Camp, which in the past has catered only for boys. Above we see girls learning to use rifles on the camp’s range.

The trampoline, another popular feature of the camp.

Page 3

The girls were very enthusiastic about the commando course which was built for the boys’ camp.

Archery, another sport taught at the camp, always under supervision.

GOVERNOR GENERAL’S OFFICIAL VISIT TO H.B.

The traditional Maori challenge given to notable visitors was performed by Toko Whatuira (centre), who, brandishing a spear swiftly, placed a dart at Sir Bernard’s feet. Sir Bernard (above centre) watches the event in the company of Mr. Langley (left) and the headmaster, Mr. R. G. Webb (right).

In light-hearted mood, the Governor General delighted his younger audience with little touches of humour such as seen here as he pirates a hat from one of the school boys at Nelson Park.

The scene inside the impressive Assembly Hall at Te Aute College where the Governor General and Lady Fergusson began their Vice Regal visit to Hawke’s Bay. The deputy chairman of the Te Aute Trust Board, Mr. V. J. Langley, is pictured intoducing Sir Bernard.

Standing as the Queen’s representative, the Governor General addresses pupils of Napier’s secondary schools.

The headmaster of Hastings Boy’s High School, Mr. J. E. Tier, was the envy of his pupils (rear) when he was singled out for a lengthy informal chat with Sir Bernard.

Accompanied by the chairman of the Hawke’s Bay Hospital Board, Mr. W. E. Bate (extreme right), the Governor General and Lady Fergusson inspect the guard of honour formed by nurses during their visit to the Hastings Memorial Hospital.

Inside, they were greeted by the Matron Miss Hall and the Superintendent of the Hospital, Dr. N. C. Ross (left).

Page 14

Patients at the Hastings Memorial Hospital were put at their ease when the Governor General and his wife made visits to many wards during their visit to the province. Sir Bernard (top picture) has a word of comfort for a patient in the men’s medical ward, while his wife is introduced (below) to younger patients in the children’s ward.

Page 18

The Governor General has difficulty carrying out a conversation with Mr. C. H. Tan, when inspecting the new Surprise Pea Line at the factory.

A part of Sir Bernard’s visit to Hastings, was a tour of the Birdseye food processing factory. His Excellency showed great interest in the modern methods of food processing and the staff who were handling the products.

Sir Bernard chats with Miss. P. Chittaporn, a Thailand Colombo Plan student from Massey College who is working in the factory laboratory during the long vacation.

Page 20

The Governor-General, Sir Bernard Fergusson, called on Mr. and Mrs. Tom Foley in their pensioners’ flat at Napier, during his recent visit to Hawke’s Bay. Mr. Foley, aged 84, won the D.C.M. during the Battle of Mons in the 1914-18 war and is a veteran of the Boer War. He was recommended for a V.C. but it was not awarded because only one report was furnished as all other officers in the engagement were either dead or wounded.

N.A.C. FRIENDSHIP

The recent inaugural flight of the N.A.C. Fokker Friendship into Hawke’s Bay Airport caused a very large crowd of visitors to gather at the airport to see this, the first jet engined aircraft to land at the airport. The aircraft made two courtesy flights around the district, the first being a party of children from France and Randall House, whose flight was arranged by the Napier Lions Club by courtesy of N.A.C., and also air cadets from Napier and Hastings.

Mr. Ross Banks, Napier Branch Manager for N.A.C. talks with Mr. Peter Tait, chairman of the Hawke’s Bay Airport Authority during the second flight.

HOWARD MORRISON

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. When informally interviewed at Napier, Howard was relaxing (?) playing tennis. Asked about his recent trip to Australia with the Quartet, Howard said it was virtually impossible to get a full house for two nights in the week in the leading Sydney night club. Asked if he had any plans for going further afield than Australia, he replied, “It’s a wise man who knows his own limitations”. Howard and the boys spend up to 12 hours a week playing sport or doing calisthenics, which they maintain helps keep them trim and fit for stage work. A keen squash player, Howard and Noel King [Kingi] participate in deer stalking and pig hunting whenever their commitments permit.

Wot, no side saddle! A four in hand at the Marine Parade playground.

MOTORISTS –
– Take a Tip from ROBBIE

If you Get into a Skid

Do NOT – Jam on your brakes or use the clutch.
Instead You Should –
Leave the clutch engaged, take your foot off the accelerator, and then turn the front wheel into the direction of the skid. As the car straightens out straighten your front wheels.

You can load a dinghy single handed into the boot of your car with this set-up of pulley and wringer roller. Rest the bow on the roller and ease the weight off the stern as you pull the dinghy into the boot with the rope and pulley. Ensure that there will not be more than 4ft. overhang behind the rear bumper before transporting anything in this manner.

This is a condenser. It is located either inside or immediately alongside the distributor of your car and performs quite an important function. If it should fail the engine won’t run. Unfortunately, condensers don’t give much warning that they are becoming tired of life, therefore it’s always a good idea to carry a spare. They cost only a few shillings.

Welding goggles worn by a helper will enable him to look directly at the head-lamp filaments as you test the wires. He can detect flicker in either filament without suffering any damage to his eyes.

Robbie says . . . A pat on the back develops character, if administered young enough, often enough, and low enough.

OUTDOOR ART SHOW

The Hawke’s Bay and East Coast Art Society, once again attracted large numbers of people to their outdoor exhibition of local art. This year pottery was included in the display and this occasioned much favourable comment. Above is a section of the many people who visited the show.

This study by well-known artist R. M. McLauchlin shows the use of the acrylic technique.

This charcoal drawing of a Roman head drew much comment.
