To add to a tired Jaycee sultan’s pleasure, three dancing giris gave a vivid display of an Eastern dance. They are Dorothy Fenton, Margaret Donovan and Yvonne Sykes.

NEW IDEA FOR SEWAGE DISPOSAL

A new idea for a sewer outfall, at present being pioneered by the Gisborne City Council may prove the answer to both Napier and Hastings sewage disposal problems.

A mile long pipe of 4 inch thick concrete is being glued together with an apoxy resin into four ¼ mile lengths, pointed towards the beach. Later this year the 1600 ton pipeline will be dragged to sea by a tug and dug into the seabed by a giant 6-foot disc system, designed by the city engineer, Mr. H. C. Williams.

This is the first marine pipeline in the world solely of concrete construction to be launched in this way. It will not float, but will weigh a mere 9 lbs. per foot in water. On land each foot weighs more than 500 lbs.

The 30 inch diameter pipe is shown being assembled, pointed at Waikanae Beach.

WRESTLING

At the Town Hall in Hastings, wrestling fans saw Rocky Hunter, U.S.A., in his final bout in New Zealand, defeat Clem Lakis (ex Beatles bodyguard), in the seventh round. Both men had secured a fall each in a fast moving display of holds and throws, but due to the persistent use of the banned claw hold, the referee, Bomba Wells, disqualified Lakis, ending a really high-class display one round too soon.

Hunter applies a forward headlock.

Battle of strength. Hunter applies a full Nelson.

Lakis applies a body scissors. Hunter counters with a forward dump.

ROVING CAMERA

This little shack was erected by the Napier, Hastings and district radio retailers at their own cost, and relays W.N.T.V.1 television programmes to about one million pounds worth of receivers in this district. But the most important point is that this little translator is worth, at present, £35,250 a year in licence fees for a very indifferent picture.

PROVINCIAL SOCCER

GRIDIRON FOOTBALLERS

For the first time in sporting history at Hastings, residents watched All-American styled gridiron football played during a charity match, which realised some £37 for the Intellectually Handicapped Society. Two teams from Napier and Hastings are shown here before they took the paddock for the demonstration match.

ODD SHOTS

Nothing worse than slight abrasions were received by the driver of this small car which was toppled onto its hood and finished up on the footpath on the intersections of Willowpark Road and St. Aubyn Street, Hastings, recently. The other car involved was extensively damaged in the front.

Pictured after being washed ashore at Clifton is the 50 ton sperm whale, which has subsequently been covered by a slip of sandstone near Rabbit Gully. The jaw bone of the mammoth sea creature was salvaged by local fishermen.

MOTORISTS –
– Take a Tip from ROBBIE

Keep your trouble light trouble-free by coiling it loosely over a tin can nailed to the wall. The cap will also hold a spare bulb. Form a loop near the end of the wire and hang it over a hook to keep from accidentally pulling the plug.

Improvise a coat-hanger bracket by closing a rear window on a rubber fruit jar ring. The ring will support several garments and will leave no marks or scratches on the window. A ring cut from an inner tube will serve as well.

The spring wire type hose clip used on many modern cars are sometimes awkward to remove and install unless the proper type of pliers are available. Here is a simple way to handle this type of clip, which can then be easily opened by hand. Different sizes of clips require different size tubing. A – steel tubing; B – hose: C – spring wire type hose clip.

A quick test for car fuses can be made by unscrewing the bottom cap of a metal flashlight and separating it slightly from the body. With the switch on, a good fuse held so that it touches both cap and body will light the flashlight bulb.

OLYMPIC TRIALS

Finn Class yachtsmen seeking selection for the Tokyo Olympic Games, converged on Napier recently to take part in the trial races. Due to a unique calm on the Bay, the final three days of racing had to be abandoned and the winner of the first series of races, the Olympic gold medalist Peter Mander, Christchurch (top right) was recommended for the nomination. Top picture: The boaties prepare their yachts while waiting for a wind that failed to materialise. Lower: Shown, from left, are Bret de Thier (Canterbury), Bryan Treleaven (Christchurch), Noel Everett, Clive Roberts and Tom Speed, all of Auckland.

NAPIER THEATRE GUILD

An amateur theatrical group recently formed in Napier, has been brought into being by a small group of experienced players, who not only act, but produce, construct stage sets, props and gain valuable experience in makeup and general techniques, but above all to provide good theatre.

Roy Holderness and Audrey London as the King and Queen in “Rhyme and Treason”.

Keith Hambleton and Alwyn Davey work on a set piece.

Penny Elliott Rossiter as a Lady in Waiting who was fed up with waiting.

ODD SHOTS

A rather striking design has been employed in the erection of the new Greater Hastings Public Relations Office in Russell Street, near the old railway station.

Below: It was certainly quite a surprise welcome home for the Havelock North young marrieds recently. They returned to find a construction gang had been busy with a miniature building programme, complete with Stork Landing Strip.

JUDO

A sport which has taken a firm hold in New Zealand over the past few years has many adherents in Hawke’s Bay. The Napier Y.M.C.A. Judo Club, which is now conducting a membership drive, is a flourishing organisation, coaching a sport which teaches self-restraint, discipline and a method of self-defence. Shown here are members of the club in the traditional judo pose of relaxation.

President of the club, Avon Carter displays an extremely important part of judo, the breakfall.

Bill Madore and one of the pupils with a shoulder throw.

Page 53

Two newcomers to the club demonstrate a hip throw.

John Turner with Bill Madore on the receiving end of a “shoulder wheel” or Kata Garuma.

Of course anyone can make a mistake!

Page 54

Instructor Bill Madore demonstrates an arm bar strangle on Avon Carter.

Avon Carter shows some delight in forcing a cross neck arm bar.

Page 55

Judo is a very effective form of self defence for girls and women. Here Lorraine Lyttle as the “victim” and Bill Madore as the “assailant” demonstrate the technique of disposing of unwanted attention. Footnote. Bill Madore tips the scales at 15 stone and is 6 foot 1 in. tall.

A quick twist by the “victim” as she steps in front of her “assailant” and …

…”Ouch” – my aching back.

Or just as devastating as a simple stomach throw.

Page 56

TOMOANA PLAYERS

The annual presentation of the “Tomoana Players” this year takes the form of a farce, “All for Mary”, by Brooke and Bannerman. The story centres around Mary who, having been married twice, finds herself in her second honeymoon with both her husbands, current and ex, who incidentally both have chickenpox. The action takes place mainly in the bedroom of a Swiss hotel.

Bedtime story for the chickenpox victims: Humphrey and Victor (Peter Geor) resign themselves to the nursing of Nannie Cartwright, played by Jessie Swanson.

Humphrey looks with suspicion at Alphonse, as well he might, when Alphonse starts playing attention to Mary. Humphrey played by Robin Nairn; Alphonse by Eric Reay; Mary by Ann Hughes.
