OUR COVER PICTURES
Front Cover. Surrounded by a sea of beautiful French fabrics is lovely Hastings model Holly Porteous. The fabrics are part of a consignment from French fashion houses, which will be used by designer Rosewitha Robertson to create the all French fashion show, at Napier’s forthcoming International Exhibition in June.
Back Cover. View of the Waikato River, with the start of the white water of the Aratiatia Rapids in the foreground, a rare sight these days.
Five generations are represented in this photograph of a Hastings family. For Mrs E.L. Hunt (front) however, this could be repeated many times over for she has in fact nine great great grandchildren. Mrs. Hunt is holding on her knee baby Marie Louise Voisin, the daughter of Mrs. B. Voisin (extreme left). Her mother is Mrs. N. Bell of Taradale (right) and her mother is shown in the centre top, Mrs. C. Epplett, Pakowhai Road. Mrs. Epplett’s mother must of course be Mrs. Hunt. Mrs. Hunt, at a sprightly 84 years, has a retentive memory and has vivid impressions of the 1897 flood that devastated the plains of Hawke’s Bay. In this flood Mrs. Hunt worked in relief work at Clive, which was a sorely hit area.
