OUR COVER PICTURES

Front Cover. Our Cover picture this month is lovely Ann Hughes, Hastings Blossom Queen for 1963. Ann, who is employed in the office of Nelsons N.Z. Ltd., at Tomoana, is 19 years old and is interested in books, music and water skiing. She is shortly to leave for Surfers Paradise for three weeks holiday, as part of her prize.

Back Cover. For the first time in the history of the Hastings Blossom Festival a natural blossom entry (My Lady’s Garden by Pernel Orchard) has Won the Supreme Award, a most beautiful entry.

Mrs. M. Parahi, Ebbett Park School Queen, was crowned by the Mayoress of Hastings, Mrs Giorgi, in the Heretaunga Intermediate School recently. The campaign, which begun in June, was organised to raise 1000 pound for a learners pool, but at the closing date the fund stood at twice that figure.

Blossom FESTIVAL Hastings

Once again another Blossom Festival has come and gone. This annual event in Hastings, which never fails to attract large crowds from all over the country, lived up to its usual high standard. Perhaps not as many entries this year, but a better balance seems to have been achieved. It must always be borne in mind that the thought and effort that goes into building these floats is all voluntary and shows a fine community spirit without which the Hastings Festival of spring would never survive.

“Wilders Lodge”. A lot of people wondered why George’s Den was trailing behind the Champion of Champions. In actual fact, it was providing the motive power via the connecting push bar to the Champion float, the driver in the lodge being connected by telephone to the driver steering the float.

NEW 24 HOUR SERVICE STATION OPENED

A new and modern Napier Service Station. opened its doors to the motoring public on the 17th August, and they haven’t shut them since.

In keeping with the modem trend to give the utmost service possible to the local residents and travellers alike, Jones Services Ltd., corner of Warren and Hastings Streets, Napier, have set out to offer a complete service for the full 24 hours of every day – this includes a cup of tea at any time of the day or night.

Well known radio personality, Sandy Triggs, added to the gala atmosphere of the opening by running continuous quiz shows for something like four hours.

Opening day was an exceptionally busy day for the Jones Services’ staff as they catered for the hundreds of people who came along to inspect the facilities offered in the Grocery – Dairy – Tearooms shop attached to the Service Station.

SHIELD CHALLENGE

One of the “hottest” challenges put up against Auckland for the Ranfurly Shield (top right) was that of the Hawke’s Bey team. A record midweek crowd witnessed the gruelling match and saw Auckland’s winger M. Dick, fly over the Bay’s line to score their only try. Above. P. Orangi, who made a valiant attempt to intercept the speeding Winger, lies just inside the corner flag. The Bay’s first points were scored from the boot of Tony Small, pictured lining up this penalty kick (right), which flew between the uprights and put his side temporarily in the lead. The game was characterised by the tremendous battle for forward supremacy, which proved to be about even. Below, A. Johnston, Hawke‘s’ Bay second five-eighths prepares to pass the ball out to Orangi (No. 4) as W. Whineray bears into the attack with W. Nathan.

FUN AND FROLICS

Venue for Blossom Week fun and frolics was changed this year from the main street in Hastings to Civic Square, a decision which has proved admirable. Crowds of up to 3,000 thronged the area, part of which is shown during the pillow fight between John Minty (radio) and Selwyn Toogood (radio).

Originality and styling went into many of the magnificent fancy dress costumes on display during the daily contests in Hastings.

“Frutee” is Beauty

School children of a Hastings suburban area make the most of a good thing when the local store offered “Frutee” soft drinks “on the house” during the first week of the school holidays.

The hardworked shop assistants were hard pressed to keep up with the terrific demand as the youngsters packed around the counter to receive their bottle of this Hawke’s Bay product. “Frutee” is one of the many soft drinks produced by Gilberds of Napier.

Robinson‘s was undoubtedly the most popular store in town that day.

Seven people were injured in a spectacular three car pile-up in Railway Road, Hastings, recently. Six were discharged from casualty and only one, Miss Kaye Haenga, was kept overnight in hospital. The above picture was taken a few minutes after the accident.

An elderly Hastings driver, Mr. J. Elliott, Omahu Road, had a miraculous escape from injury when he hooked two stationary cars onto the front of his pre-war vehicle and shunted them across the street near Stortford Lodge recently. One was dropped en route, but the Humber (above), owned by a Clive resident was pushed through a heavy plate glass window of Mr. J. Kelt Ltd. The front of the building was extensively damaged and Mr. Elliott’s car was almost undamaged.

MOTORISTS –
– Take a Tip from ROBBIE

When fitting new registration. plates, coat the nuts and the protruding ends of the fastening bolts with gasket shellac. It will keep them from loosening under vibration and prevent the nuts from rusting and seizing on the bolt threads.

A paper hat folded from a strong paper bag provides double protection when you work underneath the car. It keeps grease and dirt out of your hair and the folded sides cushion bumps and soften contact with the ground when you rest your head.

A loose plastic knob on a window crank can be tightened and restored to service simply by filling the worn centrehole with wood putty and. pressing it back on the metal stem. Let the putty harden for several days before using the crank.

You can make a quick repair of a short circuit in a distributor cap by scraping clean the tall-tale carbon track between terminals, than coating the area with shellac. If all the carbon is removed the shellac insulation should last a long time.

Robbie says . . .
From a speed of 55 m.p.h., the average driver needs the length of a football field in which to stop. It takes longer to stop than most people think.
