MEEANEE RODEO

“Ballet de Buck Jump”. An outstanding study of grace and co-ordination as horse and partner execute a series of complicated movements.

A popular sporting fixture, this year’s Rodeo at Meeanee again brought a large crowd to watch local and visiting riders try their skill.

“Look, Mum. No Hands!” To make it more difficult, his mount is headless and airborne as well.

“Well, what do you know. I always wondered what terra firma looked like!”

What some people will do for a bottle of milk. Perhaps these fellows haven’t heard about milk deliveries and such!

The position here has been reversed, with the “milk manufacturer” still standing and two-thirds of the opposition hors de combat.

Not only the boys wore ten-gallon stetsons.

CENTENNIAL SHOW, HASTINGS

One of’the most inspiring sights during the Grand Parade on People’s Day at the Hawke’s Bay Agricultural and Pastoral Society’s Centennial Show was this six-horse team, here passing the packed grandstand. Driver is Roy Jessep.

Miss Retemeyer, daughter of the A. & P. Society’s Secretary, leads a pet goat in the parade.

In the midst of a spell of bad weather, People’s Day at the Show was a gloriously fine day, and here proud owners lead their dogs out into the ring to start the Grand Parade.

Page 5

This year’s show being a centennial event, the veterans’ shearing competition attracted a lot of interest, and entrant Mr. A. Tui at 57 years of age could still show the “youngsters” a thing or two.

Another competitor, 52-year-old veteran shearer Mr. A. Grant.

The Grand Parade, too, featured a large number of entries with the theme of old and new forms of equipment and transport. At right rear, to accentuate the progress made in the timber industry, Miss Daphne Roxborough of Takapau handles a late model chainsaw with ease.

NAPIER ST. PAUL’S SCOUT TROUPE BUILDS GIANT SWING

This rig is the result of two months planning and weekend work by 22 boys of the St. Paul’s Scout Troupe as a project to foster interest in the movement. Not only did the boys erect the swing but they went into the bush, felled, hauled and hewed the timber which was donated by the Waikahau Timber Co.

A section of the troupe waiting their turn for a practice swing. Seated is Collin Binns and John Snadden; rear, Patrick Hoy, Hugh Prosser and John Burn; and lower right, Richard Binns.

THE RAINS CAME

Not in bucketfulls, but in tubfulls – and on a Friday morning last month Napier South and Taradale residents awoke to find their lawns under water and the streets impassable. Napier very rarely is hit by flooding and never before has flooding been caused by rain and more rain of such quantity and intensity that the drains just could not cope with it.

Birdwood Street, Taradale, was one of the worst areas, and the sign (RIGHT) sums up the general feeling of flood affected residents.

As always in the midst of disaster the people most affected are able to smile and where possible see the humorous side of things, and we have endeavoured to capture this side of the picture rather than the unpleasantness.

Punts came in very handy in this street. Operating a ferry service is Mrs. S. Ross, Mrs. J. Blair and Brian Siggekow.

Allison Ross greets visitors from her garden box jetty.

It pays to build high letter boxes around these parts! The mail was delivered, too.

FASHION PARADE AT HASTINGS

Spring is here – regardless of floods – and it’s the time when men keep a close watch on their wallets and women’s eyes start to light up with the prospect of new spring and summer outfits. To encourage this state of affairs Jenny Lee of Hastings, in conjunction with the Junior National Party, staged a fashion parade in the Assembly Hall, with local girls modelling the latest in spring and summer wear.

MACKY’S MEN’S FASHION PARADE

Just to show that the ladies can’t have it all their own way, this modern men’s and boys’ wear store in Emerson Street, Napier, stepped into the women’s world and featured a fashion parade on 2ZC’s “Women’s Hour” with Valerie Austin. (Valerie is fast becoming a “Photo News” star.)

The parade was staged in the station exhibition studios during the Napier Exhibition and was watched by a very large crowd.

FROM TAUPO

The new tennis club pavilion and courts which cost between £5-6000 and which is reputed to be the finest building of its kind in N.Z., was recently opened by club president, Mr. Alex Savage.

Memorial Plaque, hung in the pavilion in memory of Mrs. Crowther who, by donating two sections to the club many years ago, made the new building possible.

HASTINGS WAR MEMORIAL LIBRARY OPENED

An impressive and inspiring building, the Hastings District War Memorial Library was last month opened and dedicated at an official ceremony witnessed by over 2500 people.

In the foyer – the Hall of Memories – visitors inspect the large mural (reproduced opposite) and behind them can be seen one of the figures which have been sandblasted into the front plate-glass windows.

Lt.-Colonel N. J. Rainbow, marshall of the parade, and Miss Topsy Bolt, Commandant of the Hastings Red Cross Society, make their way into the hall.

The Air Force is represented on the left and above by a “dog-fight”, and a naval battle is depicted on the right.

Originally planned for an outdoor ceremony, the threat of rain necessitated its being held in the building itself, and the many hundreds who could not get in heard the ceremony over loudspeakers.

Veterans file through the Hall of Memories. Four soldiers of the Hastings Regiment formed a memorial party, standing one in each corner of the hall with reversed arms throughout the opening ceremony.

QUIZ SHOW

Jack Maybury’s quiz shows went a long way towards making the Exhibition the success it was. Even though the rain dogged the ten-day event it wasn’t enough to stop the crowds flocking to the “6400 Question” and the “Number, Please” shows.

Eric Robertson receives his qualifying gift from Jack Maybury after answering the first four questions correctly. Eric apparently had his eye on the gold watch at the 400-mark, as he went that far without much difficulty and then stopped.

Mrs. Gregg of Napier took the subject of “Quebec”, but was unsuccessful in gaining a major prize.

Mr. Des Gibson receives his qualifying gift.

During the show children were invited on stage for a chat, in return for which they each received a bottle of “Coke”.

NUMBER, PLEASE

“Number 7, please,” says Mr. Dick Wood who, even though he sang with a very broad Scots accent and had the crowd singing “The Northern Lights of Aberdeen”, was an Irishman as far as Jack Maybury was concerned.

Large crowds, regardless of the wet and cold conditions, packed the covered Centennial Grand Stand to see and listen to the “Number, Please” show.

Star of this show was Mrs. Doris Cottle of 3 Burke Street, Napier, here concentrating on her “song for a £1”. After this ordeal Mrs. Cottle went on to win the “Ladder of Luck” and a Frigidaire.

From the audience, Mr. Cottle advises his wife to “Take the Fridge”!

UNIQUE FLOAT DESIGN

So many people have asked just how the H.B. Farmers’ Blossom Float was transported that we asked the designer to let us reveal the secret.

A picture of the float in its early stages of construction shows how the motive power was cunningly tucked in under the front end.

A close-up of the cut-down Land Rover shows how the driving controls, other than the gear shift, were shifted forward of the motor. The reason for this was to allow the float proper to be as low as possible. The driver was Ian Ebbett and co-pilot, Charley Proctor, worked the gear lever when required. As can be well imagined, a high degree of co-ordination between Ian Ebbett and Charley Proctor was necessary to avoid loud grating noises as the gears were changed.

Shows just how close to the ground the clutch and brake pedals were set.

CANCER – June 22nd to July 22nd
