ZIP GOES A MILLION

The residents of Piggottsville, Texas, gather to welcome Percy Piggott, Lancashire heir to the Piggott millions.

Hastings Musical Comedy Company’s 1963 production, “Zip Goes a Million”, a hilarious musical by Emile Littler, is the musical version of the well known American farce, “Brewster‘s Millions“ and brought George Formby to London’s West End for his first appearance as a star of a musical. This show provided him with one of the biggest triumphs of his career and packed happy audiences into the Palace Theatre from November 1951 to March 1953. With Eric Maschwitz’s skill in adapting the piece and George Poslord’s music a first-rate musical and a sturdy rival for any importation from Broadway was created.

Based on an idea by Winchell Smith and Byron Ongley, the story will be familiar to all those who are acquainted with “Brewster’s Millions”. It tells of the hilarious adventures of Percy Piggott, a simple Englishman from the North, who goes to America to claim a fortune, together with his sweetheart. Sally Whittle, and her mother, Motty, only to find that he must get rid of a million dollars by a certain time in order to inherit the wonderful legacy of seven millions. Percy discovers its no easy task getting rid of a million dollars, especially when you can’t tell anyone the reason.

A merry romp results, and with. its uproarious situations. lavish settings and costumes, spectacular ballets and delightful melodies, “Zip Goes A Million” is the zippiest show you’ve seen in a long time. The show is being produced for the company by Laurie Swindell.

Two charming Piggottsville girls prepare some welcoming music – Myra and Judy Woodham.

Will Percy back the singing and dancing Delaneys’ show? Buddy Delaney (Peter Geor) plans with Billy how they can use Percy’s money to back their show whilst Lilac Delaney (Janeve Treacher) adds her persuasion.

Buddy‘s show “The Garter Girl”, starring Lilac, is a smash hit on Broadway.

FUN IN THE SNOW

The recent cold weather, and snow falling to low levels in the ranges, was a welcome treat for many people, especially the children, and dad didn’t need much persuading to take the car and kids off to see the snow. When our photographer arrived, snow fights and snow-man building were in full swing just north of Te Pohue on the TaupO Road.

BASKETBALL TEAMS RAISE FUNDS

Led by the Napier Ladies Pipe Band, a very large parade of basketball teams paraded through Napier recently to help raise funds to send the Napier rep. team to Rotorua for the National finals, and also to assist in equipping the new courts at Marewa Park.

The parade was headed by the Napier Referees and the Tech. team and followed by teams from all the schools and many of the business houses.

After the parade, a basketball game was played between Marist Old Boys football team and the Ex High School basketball team, which provided amusing entertainment for the large crowd.

CONTROVERSIAL EXHIBITION

The following are pictures by Hawke’s Bay artists which have created much interest and, in cases, caustic comment.

Above is a picture entitled “Blue Nude” by Liz Sanderson, and below, “Still Life“ by Toby Stubbs.

Two pictures by Hastings artist Brian Dew. The top one entitied “Presentation” and the lower one “Coronation”. Both are priced at 20 guineas.

“Well – blow me down!” gasped Dennis Gleave, as he tried to “nut out” this abstract by Margaret Gorton entitled “Scarpa Flow”. Can you make it out? The price for this one – 17 gns.

BACK COUNTRY TIMBER MILL

A major industry in New Zealand is the milling of our native and exotic forests; timber plays a very large part in our lives despite the ever increasing competition from plastics and suchlike. This picture feature shows the working of a back country mill which is situated at Te Haroto on the Taupo Road, and will very shortly close after a period of twenty-seven years of continuous work cutting native timber at the rate of 2,000,000 board feet a year. Mills such as this, often working in difficult country, do contribute very largely to our economy.

The start of a log on its journey to the mill. George Alexander clears an obstruction as the log is hauled from a gully.

George Alexander sniping and deeing the log for easy towing while Arnold Wood shackles the log to a bulldozer for towing to the skid.

Page 29

Neal Thompson hauls the log to the skid with his bulldozer. Bulldozers are used for this work as they serve the dual purpose of log hauling and road making. All access roads and bridges have to be made by the miller.

“Ropey” Bill Ringi prepares to load the block the top of the skid.

Page 30

Looking down on the skid with the steam hauler in the background and the first loading bay on the right.

Dan Gilbert, driver of the steam hauler, watches intently as a log is hauled down the skid.

Page 31

From the hauler, the logs are hauled over well made roads by powerful 165 h.p. deisel trucks to the mill proper. Ken Charlton, the driver of the loaded truck, is a young Canadian lumber jack who is enjoying himself on a working holiday in New Zealand.

General View of the mill with loads on the right waiting to be loaded onto the breaking down bench.

Page 32

Doug Gardener, one of the owners, loads the breaking down bench.

And the two giant saws, with the cutting edge travelling at 10,000 feet a minute, make short work of a log, and will cut through steel with just the same ease. Many logs come to the mill with old steel telephone spikes in their innards, the tree having grown over them.

A general view of the breaking down bench, showing a partly broken down log travelling through the lower saw with Bob White (another partner), at the controls. The log is drawn through the saw on a moving platform. This mill, like many others, is steam driven.

Page 33

From the breaking down bench, the timber moves to the breast bench, where it is thicknessed to size for transportation to its final destination. Picture shows Ken Beams on the head and Dan Smith on the tail, with Monty Kahukiwa (extreme left) on the goose.

Saws have to be sharpened, and as soon as milling ceases for the day, Bob White files up the blades for the next day, and the sequence starts all over again.

MAORI AND PAKEHA CHILDREN GETOGETHER

Standard one and two pupils of Mahora School had a first hand lesson in Maori Culture when they were invited to attend the Pakipaki School and see traditional Maori life. Their school grounds were transformed and the Pakipaki scholars, dressed in Maori costume, presented a colourful spectacle to the Pakehas. Some of the Mahora pupils (above) appear a little apprehensive about the spirited challenge.

Standard two pupils of Pakipaki demonstrate the short poi and action song.

MOTORISTS –
– Take a Tip from ROBBIE

Wipe the inside wall of each front tyre clean after you have had your car lubricated. Grease and oil are enemies of rubber and grease forced out of the front end fittings invariably falls on the inner walls of tyres. If allowed to remain, it will soften the rubber and eventually weaken the tyre.

Install a drain plug at the bottom of a permanent oil-fitter housing and you. won’t need a suction gun. to empty the case when changing elements. Braze a thick steel washer to the outside at the case, drill it and thread for a pipe plug.

You can aim a torch where you need it by propping it between the opens jaws of pliers stuck in the ground. If the ground is paved or too hard-packed, secure the jaws of the pliers to the light with tape so that the handles serve as legs.

Is three passengers in the front your usual driving arrangement? You‘ll find it worthwhile to move the rear vision mirror to the right so that the middle passenger doesn’t block your view of the road behind. A second mirror to the right of the original is even better.

Robbie says . . .
Never follow another vehicle at less than a car’s length for each 10 m.p.h. being travelled. e.g. at 50 m.p.h. allow 5 car lengths between his back bumper and your front bumper.
50 m.p.h., 5 car lengths.

One of Hawke‘s Bay’s most windy days was the occasion for the return to Napier hospital by plane, of 15 months old Roger King of Te Pohue, who has undergone treatment at Green Lane Hospital for a heart condition.
