SQUASH COURTS OPENED
New Zealand’s fastest growing sport received an added fillip with the opening recently of the newly erected courts of the Havelock North Squash Racquets Club. The Mayor of Havelock North, Mr. R. J. Nilsson, congratulated the new club on its enterprise and expressed best wishes for its future progress. Shown here is a general view of the clubhouse.
A section of the large crowd, overlooking the courts. Standing at centre, former National Champion and test player Don Mochan, of Napier, explains the rules and aims of the game.

ROVING CAMERA
The jib of this large 45 ton crane was twisted when the machine toppled while lifting a 24 ton pre-stressed concrete beam into position on the new Pakowhai Dip bridge recently. In tipping, the beam was thrown some distance out from the piers and was broken in three sections (below). However, according to the project engineer, this will not hamper work on the project, which is well up to time. A spare boom has since been fitted to the crane.

Following the orgy of senseless killing in the aviary at Cornwall Park, the Hastings City Council has been deluged with offers of replacement birds for the cages. The first of three peacocks which will grace the gardens is pictured being unpacked (above) by Council Reserves Department employees and (below) released from its box, it eyes its new surroundings.

TARADALE FESTIVAL OF YOUTH
Despite adverse weather, some 10,000 people attended the Taradale Youth Festival. Displays of every kind were held in a large marquee adjacent to the Town Hall, with various organisations seeking to interest children and teenagers in their affairs. In the Town Hall itself, a forum, films, talent quest and teenage cabaret provided a full programme for all ages.

Traffic Officer Horniblow demonstrates an eye testing machine.
Providing interest for many was the teleprinter operating on the P. & T. stand.
Page 16
Once again the Taradale Youth Festival has been a roaring success and thousands of old and young passed through the giant sized marquee. Each day large numbers of children attended the various classes which are depicted on these two pages. At top, engrossed in their work, is a table in the pottery modelling school which was conducted in the Taradale Kindergarten, while below, girls are pictured busy at work making rug mats.

12th BATTERY REUNION
Held recently in Napier, was the first reunion in twenty-five years of the 12th Battery of the 12th New Zealand Field Regiment. Pictured above are Ron Matthews, Ian Mackay and Stan Butcher, examining the old Battery photograph which was the key to identifying all the members of the Battery and so bringing them together for the reunion.
Norm Kearns, Allen Goss, Jim Kerr, and Gordon Steel, talk over old times together. Mr Steel was the organiser of the reunion, an event which was enjoyed by all present, many of whom had come from as far away as Christchurch and Whangarei.

On Queen’s Birthday weekend, Hawke’s Bay met Manawatu at Nelson Park, Napier. Shown here, a raid by Hawke’s Bay on the Manawatu goal produced some torrid defence.

OPERATION EMU
“Operation Emu”. Despite bitterly cold conditions, some 20 children turned up at the site of the new Olympic Swimming Pool at Onekawa Park, Napier. The operation, designed to remove rubbish and debris from the surrounding area, was hampered by weather conditions.

MOTORISTS –
– Take a Tip from ROBBIE
To prevent battery acid burning holes through your overalls, make a couple of plastic over-sleeves and keep them in position with rubber bands.
After a period of time, hosepipe connections become loose because the clips wear, Bend the top of the band over until it rests on the screw and you will have no more trouble.
When replacing a sump gasket, attach it to the tank with cotton threaded through the stud holes. This will stop it slipping out of position as the sump is juggled back into place.
For easier gearbox topping up, run a long tube from the filler up under the bonnet. It can be permanently fixed in position.
No matter what happens, there’s sure to be somebody who knew it would.

HILL CLIMB AT TARADALE
With Taradale spread out behind him like a relief camp, Johnny Robson, Napier, prepares to tackle the final section of the steep sided Sugar Loaf Hill during participation in the Napier Motor Racing Club’s Hillclimb.
Under full throttle as he roars up the steep side of the tussock sloped Sugar Loaf is T. Burch.

Prior to the events, each bike was thoroughly checked for any defective part by a competent scrutineer. Here, Max Barrington of Gisborne, signs the entry form while the scrutineer E. Culver (left), checks over the machine. Others in the picture are A. Dobbs and Bob Wigmore (right). Below left: Ray Jensen buckles up his riding boots. Below right: Final adjustments being carried out on Garry Whalley’s 197 c.c. Dot racing machine.

The final section of track was so steep that when machines made the return journey to the bottom of the hill they were let down the first 30 feet on a rope held by dozens of willing spectators, who thrilled to the days racing. The driver is Max Barrington, Gisborne, whose time for the full course was the fastest in the class.
Below left: Hold her Ken! Rearing up under the steepness of the final 30 feet of track is Ken Jones on his 80 c.c. Yamaha which performed amazingly to give him third place in the full course event. With a motor not much bigger than a motor mower, this small machine made the top of the final hill amidst a tremendous ovation from the crowd on the summit. Below right: It was quite a hill climb for this motor too.
Page 51
Of course, some found it easier to walk.
Gisborne rider M. Barrington put up an excellent performance on his 350 c.c. B.S.A.
Winner of the first and second hill climbs, P. Ancell (Napier), shown just before reaching the summit.
G. Spooner (Taradale) had difficulty in holding his bucking machine.
