The Grape Harvest.

Wine men have a saying that the wine you like is the wine to have. It is as simple as that. The New Zealander is a beer drinker principally, yet more and more of them are developing a taste for claret, burgundy, port, sherry, sauterne, muscat, champagne and other wines matured in New Zealand. And to produce these products each year, a team of skilled and semi-skilled people work – often un-noticed – out in the good soil, the warm sun and ideal climatic conditions. In the front picture an attractive Mary Gwillim of Opotiki gathering the rich harvest.

Page 8

We start our story out in the spacious vineyard where the vines stretch to infinity in their neat rows, disturbed only by the random placing of wooden containers. It’s a time of well-lined pockets for the pickers, some of whom are nomadic rural workers, and some the “city slickers” who flock to the vineyards. Meet Sue Anderson all the way from Australia, working at Vidals, Te Mata Road. Below: A welcome tea break for Garry McKenzie (Hastings) and Brian Morgan (Te Awanga).

Page 9

Their skin bronzed under the relentless sun, the boys are engaged in gathering the day’s pickings. A swarm of wasps rise from the tray as Garry McKenzie hands up a box to William Flemming. The grapes are then transported (below) into the town for processing at the winery. A loaded truck stands beside the pressing shed.

Page 10

While the grapes are being fed by conveyor to be tipped into the press, the vats are being prepared. A worker (left) using a giant mixer stirs the sugar into the water, as Mr. Phil Hurray empties the boxes into the jaws of the press (right).

CHARITY FOOTBALL MATCH

The three Hawke’s Bay All Blacks who toured the United Kingdom recently gave a magnificent showing of their mettle when they appeared recently in a charity match at McLean Park. The two All Black three-quarters Ian MacRae (being tackled) and Bill Davis in one of their many brilliant incidents. Below: It was fitting that to cap his last representative match for the Bay, forward H. Hiha scored a try during the game. Hiha, who has recently announced his retirement from first class rugby, played in the middle of the scrum.

JET BOATS ON THE MOHAKA

A Hamilton Jet Boat surges up one of the many minor rapids on the Mohaka River, ten miles upstream from the railway viaduct. At the controls is Guy Mannering of the Hamilton firm in Christchurch that pioneered these revolutionary craft. He was demonstrating the craft to prospective Napier and Hastings buyers on the Mohaka. With him is Mr. Charlie Black of Thompson Black Motors, Napier.

The Hamilton jets are driven by a solid jet of water ejected at the stern. The nozzle can be turned to change direction and a guard lowered close to it creates the necessary change of pressure for the craft to go astern. When at speed they draw as little as two inches of water.

A group re-embark on the Mohaka River after taking pictures upstream. Mr. Ivan Van Asch is at the wheel of “Flirt”, Mr. Mannering in the demonstration craft. Among the group are Messrs. C. Black, Angus Hislop [Hyslop], Sefton Mannering and Lloyd Duckworth.

NEW ONEKAWA HOTEL

The recent opening of the new Onekawa Hotel marked a new phase for the residential/light industrial suburb. The first hotel to be opened in Napier for thirty years, it is generally felt that the hotel will provide a mere civilised form of drinking, and that its guest rooms will be a particular asset in a city very short of hotel accommodation.

WORLD FAMOUS POTTERS NAPIER VISIT

The visit to Hawke’s Bay recently of Japanese potter and artist, Mr. Takeiehi Kawai, gave a crowded Art Gallery in Napier a demonstration that few of the 300 will forget. The skill, speed and dexterity of this master from Kyoto brought comments and gasps of admiration from many of the people to the audience. Pictured above with his hostess and interpreter Mrs. Taiko Braid of Hastings. Mr. Kawai displays the range of pots thrown during the evening. The actual time taken for the pots shown was one and a-quarter hours.

FOOTBALL

Poverty Bay, after a terrific struggle, retained the East Coast Rosebowl against a firm Hawke’s Bay defence in the inter-provincial soccer match at Nelson Park, Napier, recently. Many brilliant saves were made by both goalies and the final score was 1-nil, the goal being scored just close on full time. Hawke’s Bay goalie J. Janes (top picture) lies on the ground and watches helplessly while the ball flicks into the net for the crucial goal that clinched the match for Poverty Bay. In the lower pictures K. Eyles (left) sends away a good centreing kick, while to the right a high jump by a Poverty Bay player secures him the advantage over his H.B. opponent.

H.B. GAME AND OFFSHORE FISHING CLUB

Hard (Bay View).

NAPIER REPERTORY PRESENTS

The second major production of the Napier Repertory Players takes a slightly different twist this year with the presentation of three one-act plays instead of the usual three-act play. The plays range from comedy to tragedy, and will be presented at the Little Theatre early in June.

Baby Doll, Archie Lee and Aunt Rose are the characters in the Tennessee Williams play “The Long Stay Cut Short”. Barbara Butler as Baby Doll, Jan Dodds, Archie Lee, and Rosemary Crump as Aunt Rose.

“My God! he is dead,” says Choohukov (Bill Corfield) as Lomov (Trevor Cardo) faints under the strain of proposing to Nataliya (Gillian Davies) in Anton Chekhov’s play “The Proposal”.

PARKVALE SCHOOL SHOP-DAY

It was a real treat to go to school recently at Parkvale when the school held a shop day and buying reached phenomenal proportions for some children who staggered home under the burden of great bundles of produce and reading matter. The senior pupils of the school did the selling, which resulted in a total of £60 for school funds. These three Maori boys (above) compare their respective bargains.

Below: Pony rides were organised to help swell the funds, and proved popular, according to this queue.

CHILDREN VISIT FREIGHTER

A great thrill to ten pupils of the Napier Central School, recently, was the visit by them to the Japanese freighter “Kowa Maru” while the ship was discharging cargo at the Port of Napier.

First visit to the bridge. Kevin Nuttall, Ada Van Leeuwen and Reginald Williams examine the radar screen which is operating while teacher Miss Lane McGill looks on in the background.

MOTORISTS –
– Take a Tip from ROBBIE

OIL-FOULED POINTS
Points can fail when the cam lubricant is of the wrong type or is applied too heavily. Suspect this condition if you see a sooty line along the point support and breaker plate.

MIS-ALIGNED POINTS
OVERLAPPING   NOT PARALLEL
The contact material of points is designed to carry from 1 to 4 amps of primary current for thousands of miles. Mis-alignment means that the same amount of current must be carried through a smaller area. This can result in early point failure due to the high temperatures involved under this condition.

Don’t use a file when cleaning up contact surfaces of points. Use an oil stone or very fine “wet and dry” emery paper of the type used by car painters.
Badly worn points should be replaced.

“THE POINTS”
Many motorists know that to set the gap between the distributor breaker points all that has to be done is to crank the engine over until the fibre block on the arm of the moveable point is bearing on one of the tips of the distributor shaft cam. Then the fixed plate must be moved until the required gap is arrived at. But not many motorists know how to interpret the signs that breaker points can tell. For instance:

NORMAL BREAKER POINTS
A frosty gray colour over the entire surface of the contacts and little or no transfer of metal indicates:
1. good alignment
2. condenser satisfaction
3. points clean

FROSTY GRAY

CONDENSER CAPACITY
You have probably noticed that used breaker points sometimes have a crater in one point and a peak on the other. If the crater is in the negative point, condenser capacity may be too low … if the crater is in the positive point, condenser capacity may be too high.

CONDENSER CAPACITY CONDENSER

CAPACITY TOO LOW CAPACITY TOO HIGH
Generally speaking, capacity on the low side os manufacturer’s specification will be best suited for high speed driving, and one on the high side will work best for low speed operation.

The 50th Anniversary of the Nelson Park School, Napier, was held recently at the school buildings in Kennedy Road.

Above we see Mrs. Blair, Chairman of the Hall Committee, addressing the assembly. The school, which was originally Napier West, has had many notable pupils pass through it doors, among them Mr. Jack Corner and Air Marshall Sir Hector McGregor.
