BEST TOBACCO MONEY CAN BUY
There is a good reason why Rothmans is the World’s largest selling – most wanted King Size Virginia. It’s simply that Rothmans extra length, finer filter and the best tobacco money can buy, give you a cooler, smoother, more satisfying taste. Try them yourself and you’ll agree.
ROTHMANS KING SIZE REALLY SATISFIES

Local Singer Makes Good
Introducing Alan Austin, perhaps one of Hawke’s Bay’s most exciting and talented country and western singers. Alan, who is 20, lives in Hastings, but is at present in Auckland where he is receiving “grooming” from the Constellation Recording Company, with whom he is under contract, before cutting his first disc in August this year.
Auckland composer, John Norton, has been retained to write several songs for Alan, one of which will feature on his new record.

LITTLE ONES GO VISITING
Excitement ran high as the little people from the Waipukurau Kindergarten alighted at Takapau railway station on the second stage of what was to be a marvellous day spent at the home of Mr and Mrs R. de Stacpool, “Frankfort”, Takapau. The children were met at the station by parents, who escorted them to Mr and Mrs de Stacpool’s residence.
Above: Disembarking from the railcar.

WHO SAID FLYING’S THE WAY TO TRAVEL?
“WHO SAID FLYING’S THE WAY TO TRAVEL?” were the comments passed by these two Maltese dogs, who found that perambulator travel beats walking ….. hands down.
The two elite pups, Prince (18 months) and Bella (2 months), talked their owner, Mrs N.A.R. Taylor, into this novel means of travel. The dogs found the 2 mile walk from Nelson Crescent into town and back somewhat tiring.
After considerable lobbying and constructive criticism, it was decided that the owner would push the pram, and the dogs would look after the parcels.
The canine beauties thought this a marvellous arrangement.

C.H.B. COLLEGE SPORTS
There was extremely keen competition at the recent Central Hawke’s Bay College Sports. All competitors were in top form, and numerous records were broken.
Left: Nancy Hapuka takes aim, pauses, and steadies herself for the big throw.
Right; Ann Terinsen makes the high jump look the easiest feat in the world to perform – she would probably assure you it is not!
Below: With muscles tense, and that tape in view, these runners leap off the mark at the beginning of a sprint event.
Perhaps not the conventional way to go over the highjump, but certainly effective, with a small problem only – the landing!

PIONEER BRIGADER TRAINING WEEKEND
The H.B. Poverty Bay region of the Girls’ Brigade held their Pioneer Brigader Training weekend in Napier on Saturday, 15 April. When we visited the Trinity Methodist Hall, venue of this event, discussions on Pioneer Brigade Venture (a new programme for the group), teenage problems, demonstrations in handiwork, makeup and hairstyles were all well under way. These sessions, along with a visit to Napier’s Dolphin Pool, were all part of the weekend’s programme.
Above: Present at the training weekend were seven H.B. girls (Brigade members), who were to join a contingent headed for a two-week educational tour of Fiji aimed at developing qualities of leadership. They are, from left, Jane Marshall (Taradale), Janice McKay (Napier), Sheryl Irving (Gisborne), Susan Hooper (Hastings), Noela Morrison (Napier), Carol Wright (Napier), and Helen McLeod (Taradale).
Watched by other pioneers, Kathleen Perkin (Gisborne), and Cheryle Bai (Gisborne), are seen learning to make small articles for elderly or sick folk and children.

BASKETBALL UNDER WAY AGAIN
Saturday, 15 April, saw the opening of the 1967 basketball season, and, of greater importance, the official opening of the new playing courts at Onekawa Park, Onekawa. Though these courts are used for tennis during the summer, this will be the first season basketball has been played on them. The courts, which are capable of accommodating ten games at once, have a special surface which only one set of courts in New Zealand have. The organising of the laying of the £28,000 area was done by a Slazenger man from Ireland, brought out specially for the job.
Above: The president of the Napier Basketball Association, Mrs N. Shirley, declared the season, and the courts, open, by putting the first ball through the goal.
Right: Mr Stewart McKenzie spoke on behalf of the Napier City Council.
Below: View, from the high-diving board in the Onekawa Pool, of just four of the ten games which were in progress.

“THE FANTASTICKS”
Audiences thrilled, talked, and mused over the latest, successful, and perhaps most unusual production, “The Fantasticks” words and book of which were written by Tom Jones with music and lyrics by Harvey Schmidt, and presented by the Napier Repertory Society, in the Little Theatre, Napier. This “musical parody of love”, as the play has often been referred to, was an ambitious and difficult task, undertaken and played with ease and feeling, for every one of the many performances. The theme of the musical was the period of adolescence dissolving into adulthood, as if seen through a microscope.
Left: The “Narrator” (Bryan Johnson, seated) introduces the cast and story to his audience. The sparse stage props and excellent lighting throughout the performance were most effective.
Above: The “Boy” (David Harris) explains his love for the “Girl”, a love which they both think their respective fathers disapprove of.
Below: The “Narrator” as “El Gallo” arranges a seduction of the “Girl”, with the two fathers, “Bellamy” (Bill Garfield), and “Hucklebee”(Terry Coyle (centre) who was also the producer).
The “Mute” (Brian Howlett) fastens a necklace round the “Girl’s” (Shirley Kauter), neck, while she is introduced.

OFF TO ROTORUA ……..
A party of thirty-six senior citizens from the Napier Senior Citizens’ Association are seen prior to their departure to Rotorua, where they spent a week touring the area.
YOU MUST BE JOKING!
The Meeanee Speedway mascot, and youngest motor bike rider, Allan Gibbons, is presented with a cup at the final night of the speedway’s season. Allan, who has been riding a scale replica of the big bikes, complete with a 2-stroke engine, which pushes him along at 20 m.p.h., is seen here dressed in his correct “track” gear.
THE BADGE BOY
An apt title for John Page, a 10½-year-old Taradale cub, who has gained every badge a cub can get. This is quite a rare distinction amongst cubs, and John feels rightfully proud of his “badge lined jersey sleeve”. The badges represent tests for; handicraft; house orderly, swimmers; entertainers; collectors, artists, guides, athletes, readers, cyclists; observers; first aid; pets and gardeners. Each of the stars on John’s cap represent the passing of the tests above, and also an even more advanced stage in cubs. Very soon the scouting movement in Taradale will be gaining another member – John is moving up.

BRAWN V. BRAWN
A very sparse crowd, of no more than 200, turned up at the Municipal Theatre, Napier, for two professional wrestling bouts, staged by the Napier Wrestling Association recently.
Hair pulling, face gouging and head butting accompanied the usual grunts and groans which go with all wrestling, professional or otherwise.
Left: The first professional bout of the evening was won by Australia’s 19-stoner, Bob Barnard, seen here sharing a “joke” with a buddy, 16-stone, Etstatios Kontellis (Greece).
Below: Who was it that said: “…..lend me your ears!” Bob Barnard appears to be just taking Kontellis’ ear – without any mention of “loan”.
Referee Mr L.O. Wells has the situation under his watchful eye, though.
Page 15
Siesta time? No, that theory is quite out of the question – it is referee Mr L.O. Wells keeping a “close” watch on proceedings during the night’s main bout, between New Zealand champ 16-stone Steve Rickard (top) and Tony Kontellis, the 18-stone brother of Greece’s Etstatios Kontellis.
Below: Big brother Etstatios didn’t approve of that last “butt” which Tony received from Rickard, so jumped into the ring to do something about it. As little brother tried to lift himself from the floor, referee Wells made a hurried exit, and a member of the local police apprehended Kontellis senior.

OUTDOOR EDUCATION
Many years ago, outdoor education to the average school children was non existent, except for a brief walk, either round their own school grounds, or to the local park for a nature study. Education today is exciting in every aspect, and to the children of Std. 4, Marewa School (Napier), who spent a week at the Y.M.C.A. Camp at Opoutama, where they received an outdoor education which promoted social living; nature study of the seashore and native bush, social and historical study of the area; group discussions; art and music; it was a prodigious method of learning.
Left: The long awaited day, 15th April, had arrived, and pupils from Mr L.G. Earnshsaw’s class embarked on the first step of their week-long “fresh air” school.
Below: The thirty-four Marewa school children were greeted, on arrival at the Opoutama school for a visit, by Maori costumed pupils.
The class is seen during a visit to Mahia, where they made various studies of the wet sand after the tide had receded, and life in the rock pools.
Left: Back at Camp Opoutama, and here, a group listens intently to Mr Turbert and Mr Hogg, physical advisors who paid the children a visit. The wonderful six days that the children spent at Opoutama meant so much more than “just an educational holiday”, because it was their own funds, amounting to £123, raised in their own time, which were used to meet expenses.
Page 17
Above: On the Sunday after arriving at the camp, the children, six parents and Mr Earnshaw who accompanied them, stopped while walking along the sand, to do some art work, and here some of the children are seen busy modelling in the sand.
Left: A great deal of time was spent trying to master, and play, tether ball.
Below: Happy, healthy, and tanned, the class and chaperones wait on the railway station for the railcar and the journey home which terminated a tremendous week.

WHO WILL SHE BE?
At the time of this magazine going to press, there were five “mums” awaiting final judging in the N.Z.B.C. organised “Hawke’s Bay’s Ideal Mother” contest.
From the phenomenal amount of letters sent in from Mothers all over Hawke’s Bay, the writers of the best letters were asked to have an off-the-air interview, and from these were picked the five semi-finalists of the contest which was to terminate on, or about, Mothers Day.
Unfortunately we could get the photographs of only four of the semi-finalists, as Mrs Taylor lives in Dannevirke.
Above left: Holding a bouquet of flowers which she was presented with, is Mrs Rishworth of Havelock North.
Above: Mrs Simpson of Hastings is also pictured with her bouquet.

LONG SERVICE PRESENTATION
A proud moment for Napier R.S.A. President, Mr L.J. Donnelly, who, on 18th March, was presented with a Certificate of Merit, and an “M” badge, by Mr Hamilton Mitchell, the Dominion President of the New Zealand R.S.A., from Wellington, for his long, and active services to the Napier R.S.A. over the years.
AROUND AND ABOUT
BOXING AT NAPIER HOSPITAL’S NEW BLOCK
This unusual sight is the boxing, or as it is correctly known in this case, the “shutters”, for the concrete framework on the site of the new block at the Napier Hospital.
The material in these shutters is called “Plasply”, (giant sheets of plywood, measuring 50′ x 9′ and 25′ x 9′) is made in Australia, and imported by M.S.D. Spiers Ltd, who are the sole agents in this area.
The advantage of these large sheets is the fact that they speed up the work of boxing and leave a much neater finish to the concrete than the regular 8 x 4 size framework available. In Australia, Plasply is used extensively for the trays of trucks and caravan floors.

JAYCEE BRIDGE
About 30 Napier Jaycees turned out at 7 o’clock on Saturday 29th April to begin the task of transporting their chapter built and designed Japanese-style bridge from the convenor’s home, where many months of voluntary work had gone into its prefabrication and painting, to its new site across the George’s Drive stream. Here we show the Saturday team standing on the completed bridge. Of wood construction, the main components of which are two laminated beams, the bridge was designed for the Jaycees by local member Mr Roger Preston, a Ministry of Works engineer. Funds for the project, which cost the Jaycees upwards of £320, came from income earned through such projects as the sale of fertiliser.
Below: In the absence of a representative from the city council, on whose request the bridge was built, the local Jaycee president, Mr John Wade, performed the “cutting of the ribbon” ceremony, to declare the bridge open – a very small portion of that bottle of champagne was used to “christen” it.
Perhaps not quite as dangerous as working atop a 20-storey building, but there was always the everpresent danger of a fall into the creek as the Jaycees fixed the side rails to the laminated beams. (See next page).
Page 25
And sure enough, the inevitable happened and a Jaycee found himself in difficulties. Actually, Mr Ian Scott, seen here being extracted from a somewhat embarrassing position, took his unscheduled dip in response to a flippant suggestion from our photographer: “Lean back and get a little bit more action into it,”said he, adding as an aside, “It’d be even better if you fell in.” With that, Mr Scott, leaning back just a shade too far, obligingly sat in midstream, his feet still on the bridge and his hands holding onto a life wire. This all happened in the process of dismantling the old bridge.
Left: Wray Ewans and Mr Ian Scott prepare to “ride” the old bridge as it is lifted from its site across the stream – immediately adjacent to the new bridge. Mr Scott had joined Mr Anderson as he had had a hand in building a causeway across what was then just a swamp back around 1943. It was Just after this that Mr Scott took his unplanned dip.
It took just 24 hours for the vandals to deface what the Jaycees had spent months in building.
Left: Acting in a somewhat more community minded manner than those responsible for the above, are, from front, Jaycees Tony Reid, Brian Pearson, Ian Scott, Wray Ewans, Doug Anderson, convenor of the whole project.

AHURIRI TAVERN
The new Tavern at Ahuriri – which will, when completed in the next month or two, overlook the Scapa Flow boat harbour in Napier – seen here after the basic concrete structure had been completed, is an unusual design, to say the least. And its outward appearance is not its only claim to special attention, for, apart from the timber superstructure, all that can be seen here in our picture was pre-cast in the workshop of Hastings builder S. Romanes and Son. This company specialises in pre-cast buildings, a relatively new innovation onto the New Zealand building scene. Actual construction on the site of the concrete sections takes place in an unbelievably short space of time. In this case, the on-site construction was completed in just three weeks. However, due to the jigsaw-type operation, the major task is design and preparation of the intricate moulds, for a high degree of accuracy is absolutely essential – dimension errors being multiplied by the number of units coming out of that particular mould.
All told, some 160 cubic yards of concrete, and 24 tons of steel went into this building. The total weight in concrete is 280 tons.
Right: The first on-site activity was the placing in position of the 12, 3-foot by 20-foot centre core slabs, each weighing in the vicinity of one ton.
Below: All the painstaking hours of design begins to take shape on the floor of S. Romanes’ outsize work shop in Omahu Rd., Hastings. This particular section of the floor sections – seen here being lifted from the mould under the direction of J. Brackenridge, S. Kyle, and F. McFaull, had been poured less than 18 hours previously, yet, via the assistance of steam curing, it had the strength and maturity of a concrete slab that has been left to cure for at least seven days.
Page 36
The transportation of the massive floor and wall “beams”, each weighing some 7½ tons, from Hastings to Napier, was a major project in itself. Each beam is 30-foot long with an attached 11-foot up-stand. These beams carry the concrete floor slabs – two sections of roughly 15-foot each which fan out from the centre core.
Right: The concrete floor beam supports sit on what seems to be most inadequate concrete pads and steel pins, but underground are massive concrete foundations.
Below: The jigsaw begins to take shape as one of the outside floor sections – as pictured on previous page – is lowered onto its supporting beams, which, when viewed from the air, are not unlike the spokes of a waggon wheel, with the centre core as the wheel’s hub.
One of the most intricate and exacting tasks was the design, mould preparation, and fitting of the 6-section concrete spiral staircase which winds its way up and around the centre core.

The Y.M.C.A. Stadium, Railway Road, Hastings, was the venue for the Hastings Association women’s and men’s indoor bowling singles on 29th April. Unfortunately this photograph does not take in all of the 50 mats which covered the floor of the stadium, or all of the 196 entrants.
Winners for the day were Mrs B. Fraser (Napier) who won 23-13 from Miss Landsdowne, and Mr T. Thompson (Hastings) who won 16-14 from Mr Titter.

“WOMEN IN WOOL”
An extremely entertaining parade with a difference, called “Women in Wool” and “ceramics”, held recently in the Napier Wool Exchange, and presented by the Women’s Auxiliary of the Y.M.C.A., was received by a large and appreciative audience.
Before the fashion parade, which showed approximately 100 garments, there were displays of spinning, hand knitted garments from the hand-spun wool done by Mrs Shirley Wright, and ceramics, loaned by Mrs Thurston and Mrs Rout.
The evening’s entertainment was ably co-ordinated and compered by Miss Ursula Calson.

SCOUT CONFERENCE
Approximately 90 scouters and lay workers attended the Waiapu area’s annual conference, held this year in Hastings, over the weekend of the 15th/16th April. The Waiapu area conference, an area which extends from Gisborne to Takapau, gave all those who attended the chance to discuss various topics, the main theme being, “Consider the Boy”, and also to meet one another on a purely social level.
Above: A portion of the delegates who are seen in the Assembly Hall, Hastings.

WHO SAID WOMEN CAN’T DRIVE?
On the contrary, they handle cars, big, small, powerful, and not so powerful, even T.Q. Midgets, with all the ease and skill of the male species. Mrs Noeline Spargo (Napier) was no exception when she took control of a T.Q. Midget, at the Meanee Speedway’s end-of-season open night.
This night proved that the weaker sex could burn up a speedway track with a minimum of effort and a maximum of power.
MUSIC MAN “MAC”
Tribute should be paid to Mr “Music Man Mac”, better known as Mr Mac McDonald, for his first, and certain-of-success, composition called “My Tender Love”. Mr McDonald, who doesn’t know a note of music, and plays the piano by ear, composed his song by playing it onto a tape recorder, then rectifying what he had done. With the help of friends, his music was recorded in notes and bars on paper, and from here there will be no stopping the tune from hitting the top – it can’t miss if Dean Martin is to be the first to record it! Yes, Dean has been sent the music and a tape of Mr McDonald’s daughter Marise singing it, so all we have to do is wait for it to hit the charts.
VISIT TO OHAKEA
Recently, thirty cadets of No 13 Air Training Corps. Squadron, Napier, accompanied by Flt. Lt. F. Johncock and Fg.Off. Copas, departed by bus for Ohakea, where for three days they will be on a conducted tour of the base. During their stay, they will be shown technical and administrative aspects of air force life, and possibly given actual air experience in an RNZAF aircraft.

SEA SCOUTS’ PARTY
A 1st birthday party was celebrated by sea scouts and cubs, in the Presbyterian Hall, Clive on 4th May. Though it took a long time to get a Sea Scout organisation going in Clive, the sixteen members who now make up this pack have been, over the last year, running numerous fund raising schemes, but as yet have not taken part in any activities on the river.
Right: Peter Rawstrone, Magician, was a tremendous hit with the boys, who surrounded him after his performance and demanded to be let into his “trick secrets”!
Below: “Little John”, as Mr Cooksey is better known in all scouting circles, is seen chatting with two cubs during supper.

SENIOR CITIZEN
Photo News introduces this month, Mr Bill Baillie, of 4 Vogel Street, Napier. Mr Baillie was born in 1891, and lived in Wellington for all but two years of his life, these two years being spent in Napier.
There are not many jobs Mr Baillie hasn’t tried, but to mention a few, there would be, tram conductor, and from this to a carrying business of his own. He then began driving for a firm, Jones Metal, where he stayed for 20 years, until he took a job driving a lift in the D.I.C. in Wellington.
Mr Baillie has four children, two of whom are now deceased, nine grand-children and 1 great-grandchild, but even though he is a busy “grand-dad”, he still has time to attend to his remarkable, time-taking hobby of making scrap books. Mr Baillie has been making these books for many years for deaf and dumb schools, and orphanages. Over the past 25 years Mr Baillie estimated he made around 350 scrap books, which he also sends to England.
LIFE MEMBER
Congratulations to this month’s Life Member, Mr Bruce Hawkins, who was unanimously elected a life member of the Hawke’s Bay Rugby Football Union, recently in Napier.
For twenty-one years, from 1943 to 1964, Mr Hawkins has been Hawke’s Bay High School Old Boys’ Rugby club’s representative on the union; from 1946 to 1964 he was liaison officer to every international Rugby team that visited the Bay, and has coached every grade in the club, being the only coach “in the business”, during World War 2.
Mr Hawkins was a member of his club, H.S.O.B., from 1933, being club captain from 1946 to 1958, and from 1960 to 1964, and elected a life member in 1945.
A prominent business man in Napier, Mr Hawkins has had, and still has, a very full and busy life.

GREENDALE JUDO CLUB
There were members of the Greendale Y.M.C.A. Judo club tumbling and falling all over the stadium at Greenmeadows, when our photographer arrived. What was happening was a practice for the judo team who were to compete in the New Zealand National Junior Judo Championships in Auckland on May 13.
Above: The stranger who sits in on a judo practice, or exhibition for the first time, must surely think all the participants were tumbling and writhing in agony – instead they are merely doing “back falls”.
Left: Phil Pomana peers down at instructor John Hadfield, after he had downed him with an “Ogoshi”, or “hip throw”.
Below left: The amazing thing is that Phil is only eleven-years old, 4′ 10″ in height, and 6 stone in weight, while Instructor John stands 5′ 6″ tall, and weighs in at 12st 4lb.!
The team who will compete in the junior championships in Auckland are pictured above, from left back: John Hadfield (instructor), George Skipworth, Karl van Demeer, Lance Baylis, Richard Baylis (instructor in charge of team), and front row kneeling: Mark Ross, Paul Freer, and Phil Pomana.

During the weekend of 24/25th February, at Mount Herbert, Waipukurau, members of NZART branch 15 of the Amateur Radio Association held a contest to see who could log up, within a two-day period, the greatest number of contacts with any part of New Zealand. The equipment used were ZC1 portable transceivers; objective, to test operating efficiency under emergency conditions.
There were 342 contacts logged up during the set operational period, considerably more than last year.
The main highlight of the weekend, was the presence of 3 members of the radio club, from Pukeora Home for the Disabled, Waipukurau.
Pictured above from left, are: Miss Jenny Waghorne, John Watson (ZLZH) Mrs Jan Barclay, Jack Simcox, Merv Reynolds, George Balfour, Peter Cooper (ZL2ABV), Stuart Barclay (ZL2AKC), Peter Garvey (ZL2NV) and Tony Balfour.

FUND RAISING CONCERT
The Taradale Rotary Club sponsored concert put on by the Hastings Orphans and the Kia-Ngawari Maori company in the Municipal Theatre, Napier, netted £400 for the Volunteer Service Abroad organisation.
The Kia-Ngawari Company and the Orphans played to a packed house. In fact, reports have it that the Municipal theatre has not been quite so packed for some time.
Above: Feet tapped and fingers drummed to the pulsating rhythm of the Hastings Orphans club’s Harmonica Band.
Right: An extremely humorous skit put on by the Orphans took the form of a Duchess (Norm Compton), who pretended, and a Butler (Mark Davis) who obliged. At a table set for six, sat the Duchess who spoke and toasted with each one of her absent guests, played by her butler, the latter taking and giving toasts for every member who was meant to be present.
Below: After numerous courses with five glasses of wine with each one, the end result was Just as one would expect.

H.M.N.Z.S. “KIAMA”
A recent visitor to the Port of Napier, was the R.N.Z.N. mine-sweeper, H.M.N.Z.S. Kiama; a navy training ship, which is based in Auckland, but at present patrolling the New Zealand coast line.
With a displacement of 790 tons, overall length of 186 ft. breadth of 31 ft., this vessel is powered by an 1800 HP triple expansion engine, giving a speed of 15 knots, and boasts armament consisting two 40mm anti-aircraft guns.
During their stay, the ship’s complement, numbering sixty-five officers and ratings, challenged Napier High School Old Boys’ junior team to a game of football – (were beaten 16- 11!), and received visits from eager sea scouts, and equally as interested sightseers.
Right: A.B. McLean, L. S. Revell and L.S.A. Strong (crew members) are seen issuing out football jerseys before the big match.

COMPETITION PLOUGHING
If one wants to enter in, and qualify for, the Atlantic Silver Plough Championships, all that is necessary (apart from a tractor, plough, paddock and fine day), is a straight eye and a steady hand. Mr E. L. Hunt, a Rongotea dairy farmer, and winner of the Takapau Ploughing Match Clubs’ contest, must have had these attributes, for he won a trophy, and the chance to enter in the New Zealand Ploughing finals at Christchurch.

YOUR BIRTH STAR INFLUENCES
An Introduction to Astrology with the Signs of the Zodiac by ‘Lenah’.
CALENDAR FOR JUNE
ARIES. March 21st to April 19th
Mars activates communications, letters and messages! Some special financial gains — if you are trying to negotiate. Need for caution but existence of opportunity in practical affairs. Increased income or capital gain from something. Advantageous for buying and selling. Go after what you want. Though travel is implied this can become costly unless a budget is followed. Visits, visitors, and trips succeed.
TAURUS. April 20th to May 20th
Great emphasis upon home. Everything pertaining to it is important. Planet Venus, assists in dealing with relatives, close associates, children. Watch your step because some excesses could reflect in health or work areas. Don’t take on too much. Confessions, chats with children, dear ones may turn out better than you think. High emotion but good results! Some messages will be delayed and important communications. Don’t be nervous from waiting. Some extraordinary gains.
GEMINI. May 21st to June 21st.
Expect some clashes between your own ideas and a financial problems. In other words, it may take more money than you can muster to put something across. A need to visit in person rather than by telephone or letter. Many illuminating conversations take place. Guard your pocketbook and don’t overdo in investment areas midmonth. An interesting episode wherein the good may be disguised in the midst of trouble. An incident can occur that causes you annoyance and later proves for your benefit.
CANCER. June 22nd to July 22nd.
Luck and charm are still working well especially where you have to deal with recalcitrant personalities. Yet a certain well-bidden opposition from someone close might cause consternation. You are able to devine the “atmosphere” of other people’s feelings. The 8th-15th is the best time to ask aid, to rally forces or to gain money through loans or other means of support. Try not to overspend, although you will be tempted to do so. Get everything done as soon as possible before Mercury goes retrograde on the 27th, causing frustrations.
LEO. July 23rd to August 23rd.
Try to complete something that needs the confidential co-operation of another. Take care lest your appetites do not lead you astray as offers, invitations and glittering promises are brought to your doorstep. Your choice should be based upon a long-term rather than a short-term gain. Someone may mislead you. Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill. Instead, clear up privately, letting the other person save face. Will have much power over others and can get the ear of someone in a high place. Don’t be taken off guard.
VIRGO. August 24th to September 23rd.
Will have great charm, ability to put ideas across with friends and acquaintances. Will have some unusual power or behind-the-throne persuasive strength. The 7-15th is vital for decisions, especially of an intimate nature. You may have to act without consulting another and this could cause you some anxiety. The 15th is not a good day for decisions wherein your words might affect the life of a child or friend. Try to restrain any inclination to press for something. There will be some delay.
LIBRA. September 24th to October 23rd.
The 1st-5th heightens your popularity, much to your dismay. You might want to get away alone, but you won’t be able to. Some invitations, socializing, and the possibility of an encounter with some acquaintance who later becomes more important in your life. Honours and duties fall heavily on your shoulders. You may have to take over something after another person fails. Many talks are indicated with high places or people in key positions. Something happily is procrastinated. You will avoid having to make a decision you would prefer to delay, in any case. Be glad.
SCORPIO. October 25 to November 22nd.
Although this month must also hold its quota of frustrations over some private matter, you will make great progress, due to the advice of some older or wiser person nearby. Some conflicts between others may force you to take part in some kind of mediation. You might have anxiety as to the way other people will take what you say. Yet the truth could be the best method to deal with something. Some real luck for you. Even though others may be disturbed or left out of something, use your privileges. Delayed messages.
SAGITTARIUS. November 23rd to December 21st.
Offers might be tempting. Especially if other people’s money is involved you might get out on a limb (borrowing or going into something over your head). Will have more Wisdom from Venus. Good time for travel into foreign lands or to consult with someone who lives away from you. Some romances this month with some age difference involved.
CAPRICORN. December 22nd to Januaryy 19th.
Hang on to your dignity and self-control and seek to influence your partner. Will make an impression if single. This will be extremely important. By softening your voice and words, you will be more persuasive than if you give way to nerves. Will gain by reflected glory. Some will be given money or funds of another to manipulate. Be responsible. Married ones will deepen their relationship. Some will wed. Excellent time for a short vacation.
AQUARIUS. January 20th to February 18th.
You ought to work in solitude or individually rather than in harmony with someone who might impede your progress. You will need special assistance and can find it 8th-15th. Venus enters a partnership ang1e, and you will be happy concerning something important and of value to you and the one you love best. For some of you this can mean professionals invitations. In fact the whole month is extraordinarily well aspected for marriage or engagement (or business mergers). Will need discretion, the ability to keep other people’s secrets.
PISCES. February 19th to March 23th.
Charm and magnetism continue to be your weapon and friend. A new cycle emphasizes tasks and those who share activities. Some clashes and confrontations are fortunate because your true feelings are revealed and others admire you. Will defend an underdog. A good time to write or communicate with those who could have misunderstood your motives. Some important heart interest or a question where reason and logic have less significance than emotions. Expect delays in answers and responses from others but keep hopes high.
