H.B. v. AUCKLAND
What’s this, a ballet stance? M. Loughlan poised on one leg, throws out a pass to supporting backs as an Auckland forward prepares to pounce on him during the representative rugby match at McLean Park, Napier, recently. Auckland won the game 11-8 after a tense struggle. Below: Towering Bay forward R. Abel secures the ball for his pack after a line-out. With hand outstretched to gather it is K. Crawford. Supporting Abel is N. Thimbleby.

Phillip Rutter, our guide for the afternoon, is shown coaxing the Wallaby with a tid-bit.
Julie Woodhose, a young visitor from Taranaki, on one of the Shetland ponies.
“Kokoda”, the New Guinea Wild Dog, was the most valuable animal in the exhibition. Practically extinct, these dogs do not bark or howl, but emit a shrill yodel, which is really a whistle.
Page 12
Janet Carpenter (11 years), who was the only girl exhibitor, gained an “A” grade certificate. Janet is pictured here with her study of the ecology of the Georges Drive Stream.
The bonnet monkey was completely at home with everyone – but “Cuddles”, the Capucin monkey was rather furtive with our photographer and did not live up to her name.

FIFTEENTH BLOSSOM FESTIVAL
Gifted with brilliant sunshine after a week of bitterly cold winds, rain and snow, the Hastings Blossom Festival once again attracted thousands of spectators from many parts of the North Island. Though not up to the standard of previous years, there were many floats which would have been prize winners in any company. However, the relative dearth of entries was a disappointment, with one or two prizes going to only entries. Here we see Queen Nicola and her lovely Princesses, Robin Bayliss (left) and Roslyne Earle.
Glamour was added by the Wanganui Drum Majorettes.
One of the many humorous bicycles.
Page 26
The Children’s Procession once again brought forth many novel ideas and varieties. Keith, Mark and Gregory Ireland won first place in the decorated bicycle section.
Rowand and Craig Waterhouse and their decorated trolley, depicting a fun-fare, judged the most original entry.
Young Cheryl King made a very attractive “Basket of Flowers”.
Page 27
Introduced to the Blossom Festival was a noval [novel] innovation, the “Watties” Rolling Pin throwing contest. This contest proved to everyone’s satisfaction just how safe the majority of husbands are when wives line them up in the sights of their rolling pins. Mrs. Keke, winner of the contest, is presented with part of her prize (2 rolling pins) by Mr. R. Giorgi, Mayor of Hastings.
Mrs. Frazer of Hastings managed this one right, but her first two efforts resembled Hastings’ answer to the boomerang.
This one scattered everyone – including John Minty.

SOCIAL NOTES

FUN AND FROLICS
Rain and cold conditions ruled out most of the fun and frolic events in Hastings, except for a few contests. One or two novel contests were added to the programme this year. Top left. This year’s winners of the pancake derby in the married and single ladies race being won by Cynthia Kirk (left), while the married’s race was carried off for the second year running by Mrs. Margaret Gledhill. Lower left: Two and a half year old Tina Haggart, one of the youngest contestants in the best posie event, holds her entry. Below: Mr. Sid Trott (President of the Hastings Retailers Association) checks the weight of a participant in the “Family with the Heaviest Mother” contest.

They’re all set to go in the Hastings Blossom Festival Go-kart Derby and the starters in the event are well known businessmen. From left: Public Relations Officer, John Minty; Sid Trott, (President of the Hastings Retailers Association), with his co-pilot, Hastings Mayor Ron Giorgi, and at extreme right, Harry Popplewell, President of Greater Hastings. The Blossom Queen and her two maids watch on at rear.
Choosing a winner amongst the large entry of posies is Mrs. Z. P. Bromley. This year, there were dozens of posies which, the judge remarked, were of a very high standard.

Eager hands outstretched. This was the happy scene in Civic Square as hundreds of children flocked over the park to take part in the lolly scramble.
The pressure is on in the East versus West tug-of-war contest. The East side, dressed as members of the gentler sex, displayed greater stamina than their West side opponents to win the shield.

Primers 3 and 4 and standard 1 of Ebbett Park School, Hastings, combined in an afternoon of songs and displays depicting Chinese culture for interested parents recently.

H.B. v. POVERTY BAY
Hawke’s Bay’s left wing Bill Davis, is in full flight in this shot taken during the inter-provincial rugby match against Poverty Bay at McLean Park recently. The match ended with Hawke’s Bay running out the winners. Below: After a stirring piece of determined forward play, Hawke’s Bay’s Dave Bone flashes across Poverty Bay’s goal line for a try. The inspiration and drive was initially provided by captain for the day, N. Thimbleby (behind Bone on ground).
Page 39
Hawke’s Bay forwards predominate in this lineout as they scoop the ball to waiting halfback Neale (right).
Twice in the same match, Hawke’s Bay winger M. Percy made strong bids to score but was bundled into touch right on the corner flag. On this occasion he really flattened it.
A burly Poverty Bay forward pounces on Hawke’s Bay’s halfback Neale, but just too late, as Neale finds touch with his short stab kick.
Captain N. Thimbleby poises from his run and prepares to send up a centring kick.

MR. ACKER BILK
A welcome return to Hawke’s Bay, for jazz fans, was the re-appearance of Acker Bilk and his Paramount Jazz Band. They were entertained at a reception at the Black Orchid Room, Napier, by the H.B. Swing Club. Here are seen some of the boys “practising” on borrowed instruments, with Napier’s Graham Lawson sitting in on the drums.
Swing Club President Johnny Hale, presents pianist Stan Greig with honorary membership of the H.B. Swing Club, a gesture extended also the rest of the Band.
“Tea” is always popular with Acker Bilk.

GUN DOG TRIALS
Omaranui Road was the recent venue of the H.B. Gun Dog trials, which attracted entries from Wellington to Wairoa. Here can be seen the perfect understanding between Andrew Jones, Napier, and his dog, which remained completely still for some moments before this bird was flushed from hiding.
Mr. J. Toby’s “Judy” demonstrates the patience which goes into training these dogs. Coming out of the river. which was approximately 40 degrees, Judy refused to surrender her prize to anyone except her handler.

Patiently awaiting their turn to show their dogs’ paces in the water trials are, from left, Diane Wedd, Dannevirke; Mrs. W. R. Harper, Hastings; and Mrs. A. J. Wedd, Dannevirke, whilst the dogs, Jason and Danny appear to be gauging the opposition.

MOTORISTS –
– Take a Tip from ROBBIE
In general it is unsafe (and an offence) to overtake at or approaching an intersection.
Under the following circumstances you may overtake another vehicle on the left, but it is your responsibility to make sure the movement can be made safely.
In a 30 mile-an-hour area, “A” may overtake “B” on the left IF “B” is stationary or has signalled a right turn.
Also (in a 30 mile-an-hour area) on leaving the intersection, “A” may overtake “B” on the left IF-
“B: has made a right turn and “A” has gone straight through OR IF “B” has made a right turn and “A” has turned left.
DO NOT Overtake
At a Blind Bend
Near the Crest of a Rise
At “NO PASSING” lines, that is, where there is a solid line on YOUR side of the centre line
Slower drivers should pull well over to the left and stop if necessary to let following traffic go by.
NOT THIS WAY
BUT THIS WAY
