OUR COVER PICTURES
Front Cover. Our front cover this month is lovely young Judith Parkes. Judy is at present employed in a Napier city store, but is shortly going to Wellington to train as a model.
Back Cover. Winner of the 1963 Moffat Cup, the Hawke’s Bay yacht “Surprise”, skippered by Bob Gunson.
Like “a painted ship upon a painted ocean”, the Wellington entry barely makes way.

MOFFAT CUP CONTEST
Held in Hawke Bay recently, off Napier, the National Moffat Cup Contest was beset with extremes in weather conditions, starting under storm weather conditions, and ending with a flat calm, with a day of good weather conditions in between.
Above we see the Auckland entry, and below, Canterbury, both moving with a bone in their teeth.

ROVING CAMERA
From nowhere to everywhere, the A.A. sign at Scott Base acts as a backdrop to Messrs. B. Lisette and. D. Webley, both of Hastings, and I. Trethowen, Taupo, who are crew members of H.M.N.Z.S. “Endeavour”. Picture was taken during a recent supply mission to the Base.
The moral of this picture is, go on your honeymoon by plane, train or bus, or else plant a decoy and then calmly drive away from the reception in another car, as was the case here.

Crossing Troubles. On a recent fine Sunday, a long line of cars were returning from Westshore Beach, and, turning into Taradale Road, found the road blocked at the level crossing, where line repairs were in progress. It was then that drivers caused their own traffic snarl by trying to cross over the traffic that was turning into Taradale Road, which was going to have to turn back anyway.
Landscape work carried out last year in the Napier Botanical Gardens have helped to make these gardens a pleasant retreat.

Peter Snell and Don Clarke, two of the great names in New Zealand sport, pictured with Greater Hastings Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ken Sparks.
While on visit to Napier to talk over their sporting careers, Peter Snell and Don Clarke were guests of Greater Hastings at a special dinner at the Hawke‘s Bay Farmers. Snell took the opportunity for a piece of training by running the distance between the two cities via the main highway, collected his clothes, had a shower, and appeared in top form for the dinner.
Glad to be back home with her owner, Mrs. Starnes, of the S.P.C.A. Boarding Kennels, Bessie the black Labrador dog, makes a fuss of her owner after being lost and then successfully found within 24 hours in Hastings recently. Following a phone call from a resident of the Pakowhai area, Mrs. Starnes went out in her car to investigate, and sure enough, there was Bessie waiting to be picked up. The dog holds special favour with Mrs. Starnes, for she had nursed it back to health when it was found hobbling along near Whakatu with a broken leg.

PRODUCTION OF A MAGAZINE
A project which is causing great interest among the pupils of Form I-II at Bledisloe School, Taradale, is the production of its first class magazine. Above, a class panel interviews noted All Black, Kelvin Tremain.
The class as a unit working on all the many articles that go to make a magazine.
Suzanne Eden and Heather Ramage working with a reference book, put together an article on the Gum Emperor Moth.
Page 16
The recent interview of Kelvin Tremain by the class was recorded on tape, and here we see Garry Nugeut [Nugent] writing an article from the questions and answers of that interview.
Wendy Lee draws an illustration for the article, on the Gum Emperor. Wendy is drawing from life, as the class is making a study of this moth.

One of the most important links in the chain is typist Ann Tetley. To her falls the job of typing all the copy neatly, and without any mistakes.
The printing department. Here we see Winnie Luke (second from the left) operating the printing press, while Linton Palmer checks the paper feed and Len Anderson (on the left) removes the printed sheets from the shute.
Standing by is Wendy Lee, who also has the exacting task of proof reading the first sheet off, and of making sure all pages will back up correctly when the magazine is finally colated together.

AIRPORT PROGRESS
Gigantic earth works are being undertaken for the formation of the sealed runway at the Hawke’s Bay Airport, Napier, as shown in the above aerial view, taken from the southern approach, looking towards Bay View in the rear. The existing terminal buildings are on the right hand side of the picture with a portion of Westshore. It was announced recently that Fokker Friendship aircraft will come into service on the new airstrip around November of this year. The deep ditches that run diagonally across the land are to drain away seepage from the strip, which at this point is barely four feet above sea level.

N.A.C. SKYLINER
Now in service on the Hastings-Napier to Auckland route non-stop, are two N.A.C. D.C. 3’s with completely redesigned interiors, which include new seats and larger windows that enable all passengers to obtain an excellent view of the passing landscape The cabins have improved sound proofing and this, coupled with the tasteful colour scheme of grey and blue in pastel shades, makes for a very pleasant journey for passengers on these flights.
Size of the new windows can be judged as hostesses Sally Lilico and Mary Tuckwell watch the scene from the waiting aircraft.
Page 24
Skyliner “Napier”, the first of the new fleet recently visited Hawke’s Bay prior to going into service on N.A.C.’s direct service to Auckland. “Napier” will be joined by the second Skyliner “Hastings”, later this month.
Prior to taking up service, the new airliner carried out courtesy flights over the area, carrying a number of local citizens as N.A.C.’s guests.
Among guests on the first flight were the Mayors of Hastings and Napier, Mr. Giorgi and Mr. Tait, pictured here boarding the Skyliner.

POWER BOAT REGATTA
There was a real picnic spirit in the air at Lake Roto-a-Kiwi [Roto o Kiwa], near Te Aute, when the Heretaunga Power Boat Club held its regatta recently. Hundreds of visitors came to this back country lake to enjoy the thrills of this water sport. Above is a view of the lake with some of the cars.

P.O.W. SORTIE
The bi-annual invasion of Napier by the Gisborne Ex Prisoners of War was carried to a successful conclusion recently, with the Gisborne boys carrying away the cricket trophy, which is competed for annually between the two centres. Above, we see invaders arriving in Napier.
After the all important cricket match, a picnic was organised at Eskdale Park under the sign of the crooked cross.
The cricket trophy, above, is a model of a German P.O.W. Compound, showing remarkable detail. It was constructed for the Ex P.O.W.’s Assn. by Mr. Wyn Geenty of Taradale, who was a prisoner of war himself.

In an effort to raise funds, and create interest in pets, senior pupils of Bledisloe School, Taradale, staged a pet show in the school grounds. Pets were judged and prizes given in the various classes. Above are the dogs. From left are Robert Gibson and “Suzie”, Donnette Smith and “Star”, and Terry Boston and “Chippie”.
