WALLPAPERING

WITHOUT TEARS

Paperhanging without tears, by Allan Baldwin Ltd. of Hastings.

A novel idea by Allan Baldwin, a Hastings businessman has met with an overwhelming response, a course in paperhanging – and free at that – conducted by Mr. Baldwin, himself a master tradesman with a life time of experience behind him.

“Photo News” went along to the Allan Baldwin shop in Heretaunga Street and found it packed to the doors with people anxious to learn how to “do it yourself”.

The following pictures show Mr. Baldwin demonstrating the major points and methods of this art. Space here does not allow us to cover all aspects but we hope that anybody interested in making a first class job of their own home will go along to Allan Baldwin Ltd., perhaps take these pictures with them and we feel sure they will get all the help and advice they need.

The height of the wall is measured, the first length of paper cut and checked against the wall, making sure you have two inches overlap each end.

Page 5

Next stage – cut up all the paper into the correct lengths – note that curl of bottom sheet makes a natural guide to cutting.

After cutting comes the pasting of the paper. Pull top sheet to be pasted to the very edge of table or paste boards and apply paste from the centre, brushing out to the edges, never brush back towards the paper’s edge as the paste will seep on to the pattern side.

Following the pasting comes the folding. Here Mrs. Warmsley, a member of the audience, takes a hand. After the paper is folded it is left to soak. Mr. Baldwin would be able to enlarge on this, as soaking time is determined by the type of paper used.

How to shake out the paper ready to hang, catching it as it drops, on the foot.

Do not shake out the full length as it is liable to end up a nasty mess on the carpet.

Page 6

Complete control of the paper must be had at all times. If you don’t get it right first time or air bubbles appear, the paper can be pulled off to within a couple of inches of the top and you can start again.

How to cut those narrow strips. Straight edge of paper is placed to edge of table and mark scribed with a rule and tips of scissors – no pencils please.

To cut off selvedge, paper is brushed to obstruction whether it be skirting door or window frame. Scissors run along where paper meets obstruction then paper pulled away and cut slightly full on the line that appears on the back.

PANTO TIME

For the fifth year in succession the Wairoa Little Theatre presented its Annual Pantomime in Napier. This is the ninth production, but it was only five years ago that the company started to come to Napier. The Little Theatre has been most successful in this yearly trip to Napier that now the show is looked forward to with great anticipation. The panto this year, “Dick Whittington and His Cat”, was up to the Little Theatre’s usual high standard and with a cast of 62 people it does the company and the people of Wairoa great credit to bring this show to Napier. It must take a great effort and team spirit to transport all the cast, costumes, sets and backdrops for what is virtually a one night stand. We hope this effort will continue for many years to come.

ROVING CAMERA

A very popular visitor. The “Rotoiti’s” visit was very much appreciated by the folk in the Bay.

Come on folks. How about buying some of this firewood. It’s cheap and good burning. By doing so you will be helping the Lions to help others. Perhaps one day you might need some help – you never know.

12th HASTINGS HIGHLAND GAMES

Once again the Hastings Highland Games, the twelfth, became the centre of interest for New Zealand’s top sportsmen, pipers and dancers. This year record crowds made the event an unqualified success. coupled with the appearance of those two greats of the running track, Peter Snell and Bill Baillie. Even rain on the Saturday afternoon did not drive the crowds away. Everybody was determined to see Peter Snell run regardless of the weather,

One of the most popular fixtures of the games was the Scottish Country Dancing. Here we see the dancers carrying on regardless of rain on Saturday.

Page 12

Boxing seemed just as popular despite recent criticism.

Archery was more popular than ever.

Recently the primers of the Takapau School, staged a play based on the song, “The Wedding of the Painted Doll”.

EXHIBITION SKATING

An exhibition of skating, organised by the Revue Skating Club for the Maori Education Foundation was a great success, with exhibitions by Miss Jennifer Lord of Auckland and Mark Lind of Hamilton.

Skating par excellence. Miss Jennifer Lord was a treat to behold. Miss Lord was runner-up to the world title holder at the world championships at Fort Worth, Texas, U.S.A. Seen here are just a few pictures showing the skill of this fifteen-year-old skater.

SMALL BOY

SMART IDEA

Young Ross Farquhar of Napier South had the bright idea of running a film show in his father’s shed during the school holidays. With a small admission charge – proceeds to be donated to Dr. Barnado’s Homes – the response from the small fry was over-whelming.

A young customer buys her ticket from the cashier – Ross.

AUTUMN FLOWER SHOW

It is with regret that this Autumn Show by the Napier HorticulturaL Society may be the last for same time to come. Due to lack of public support the society is finding it more and more difficult to put on these displays. This magazine hopes this is not the last show, as it has been a great pleasure to go along and see the fruits of local gardeners efforts – particuIarly the childrens.

Prize winners all.

TARADALE HELPS MAORI EDUCATION FOUNDATION

In an effort to raise funds for the Maori Education Foundation, a gala and hangi held jointly on Taradale Park recently was well attended by members of the public and it looks as if the Foundation will benefit quite considerably.

The day started with the preparation of the hangi, the stones having been heated and the experts are just covering the food – as only the Maoris know how – to ensure success.

The afternoon started with displays by Taradale’s own marching teams. They have three now and the senior team is shown above.

Page 37

Then came the chopping, always very popular, climaxed with that very tricky chop – the jigger chop.

Two young babies, Dawn and Janie Paul of Maraenui, are quite content to take their refreshment from a bottle.

KARATE SELF DEFENCE

Graeme Frederikson blocks an upwards blow from Peter Reid and is about to punch the stomach.

Karate, a comparatively new type of sport, was demonstrated at Taradale Park recently under the direction of Mr. Ray Frederikson, organiser of the only full time Karate Club in New Zeaiand. Karate, as a sport, is considered one of the fastest of its kind and as a means of self-defence is almost unrivalled. At no time are blows allowed to fall – all blows being stopped short. This is sound reasoning as serious injury could result.

Ian Jennings makes knife attack. Marshall McDonagh counter attacks with a snap kick.

Graeme Frederikson comes in to attack and is warded off by Peter Reid, using his feet.

LEST WE FORGET

Anzac Day was held this year with very little change. Everywhere in Hawke’s Bay, people assembled at Cenotaphs and Memorials to remember those who left these shores, never to return, but never to be forgotten.

May we not forget our glorious dead. May we not forget the future of our children.

COLOUR FOR EVERYONE

Miss Scott holds the interest of her audience.

The use of colour in the home. Miss Valerie Scott, colour consultant to B.A.L.M. Paints, in conjunction with Holts, lectures to a packed audience in the War Memorial Hall, Napier. She demonstrated with the use of fabrics and paintings how colour harmonies and contrasts are achieved.

Colour plays an important part in every home and Miss Scott shows how it can be used to advantage throughout the home.

Page 55

At the time of Valerie Scott’s lectures, Holts organised a competition in which, competitors had to place the ten most popular colours in correct order. This was won by eight-year-old Christine Laidlaw of Otane, and above we see young Christine receiving her voucher, for £50 worth of goods from Robert Holt and Sons, and also a large box of chocolates from Valerie Scott.

BRIDGING THE GAP

A bridge with a difference. On the Waikoau Road that leads in to Holt’s Forest from the main Wairoa Road at Tutira, a bridge is being virtually launched across a gorge on the back of a truck.

The top picture shows the truck with bridge structure ready for launching.

A closer luck at the truck shows it is no ordinary vehicle. The wheels are heavy duty truck wheels and a turntable which carries the bridge is built in the centre of the wheel-base on a very heavy chassis.
