ADULT EDUCATION
Hobbies and extra mural studies are still an important part of many people’s lives despite the onset of T.V. During a recent visit to Napier Boy’s High School “Photo News” learned some amazing and interesting facts. There are 78 classes conducted every week, which encompass 50 teachers and 550 students, and range from basket-weaving and upholstery to trade instruction and accountancy. Pictured here is the art class with model Mary Tanser.
Perry Spiller shows the movement of an electric conductor when in a magnetic field, whilst watched by B. Paine, G. Gallagher and Louisa Nation, during a class of Stage 2 Physics N.Z.C.E.

1964 GOWN OF THE YEAR
The sixth presentation of Tam Cochrane’s “Gown of the Year” Contest was seen by a very receptive audience in the Municipal Theatre, Napier, recently. The usual high standard was maintained, proving, as it has in the past, that New Zealand designers lack nothing in comparison with their overseas counterparts.

ANNUAL JUNIOR FISHING CONTEST
This year’s annual fishing contest, arranged jointly by the Scinde Angling Club and the Acclimatisation Society, attracted so many youngsters, both boys and girls, that the organisers may have to revise their plans for next year. Some 150 of them, complete with sparkling reels and “secret” tackle converged on the pool at the Game Farm, Greenmeadows, recently, but the placid waters which had received some sturdy tagged trout were soon whipped up as the hundred or so lines were cast in. No catches were made and all the youngsters returned home minus that sought after trophy. The contest is principally a training day wherein members of the club coach and school up the aspiring anglers in the know-how of trout fishing. There is no stipulation of a certain type of tackle, the youngsters can use what they like.
The girls were out in force as well this year, so it looks as though the Acclimatisation Society is going to be busy in the future in their stocking the rivers to cater for the lady anglers. Top left: Kathryne Godwin threads up her line while (below) a couple of her friends swap “fish” stories.

A group of Taradale boys prepare their lines for the fishing contest. They are, from left: Ray Cooper, Grant Cooper, Graeme Pidlake, Bruce Barrett and Lindsay Hall. Below: The congestion is well captured in this shot looking along the bank of the main pond at the Game Farm where the contest was staged.

This was a common problem with the crush around the pool. Two of the boys whose lines snagged try to remove a hook from a jersey. Below: Sonny Hodges and Ian Cooper fix a tangled reel.
“Thirsty work, this fishing” … and so saying downs a bottle of pop. Paul Taylor (6) was one of the fortunate ones who managed to get one. The organisers ran out of soft drink early in the morning.

HAUMOANA CARNIVAL
Brilliant sunshine, gaily dressed youngsters in novel fancy dress costumes and the skirl of the pipes all added up to the grand success of the recent Haumoana King Carnival procession through the main street of the village recently. The procession was followed during the remainder of the day with a series of bright entertainments on the Memorial Park, which included displays of wood chopping, marching teams and Maori items. The procession (below) was led off by the City of Hastings Highland Pipe Band and was followed by floats and trade exhibits. Taking pride of place in the procession on this auspicious occasion was Haumoana’s Princess in this year’s Hastings Blossom Festival, Roslyne Earle (top), pictured as she acknowledged the acclaim of the crowds lining the procession route.

NAPIER SCHOOLS’ MUSIC FESTIVAL
The Napier Primary Schools Music Festival was this year held on two nights at the Centennial Hall. Nineteen schools, comprising nearly one thousand voices thrilled large and receptive audiences. Shown here is part of the Senior massed choir listening intently to one of the choral works.
Pupils of the Taradale School, under the direction of Mr. A. F. W. Gordon, demonstrated the Carl Orff method of teaching music and were accorded a great ovation.

APPLE & PEAR BOARD’S NEW PACKING SHED OPENED
One of the most modern packing and grading plants in the world is now in operation at the Hastings branch of the New Zealand Apple and Pear Marketing Board’s new store in Williams Street. It is shown here during the invitation day to see the plant in use. On the left are the grading tables where the packers work. Some fifty packers can be accommodated along the row of tables. The apples are fed straight from giant sized hoppers into a tank of water (right) and after floating to the surface are conveyed up to the cleaning and grading tables.

PENSIONERS’ FLATS OPENED – TARADALE
A further 16 pensioners flats were officially opened recently by the Minister of Housing, Mr. M. L. Rae. The new flats will provide accommodation for 20 persons in addition to the 12 units erected since 1957. Here we show Mr. Rae speaking to the gathering just prior to the official opening, with members of the official party, which included Mr. J. G. Edwards, M.P., and Mr. A. W. Miller, Mayor of Taradale.
Approximately 100 people, including many of the occupants, attended the gathering.

SPORTARAMA
The Colenso Sports Association recently held a Grand Sportarama at McLean Park, Napier. A varied and interesting programme attracted a large crowd.

Above, the Taradale team, and below, the Hastings Combined team.

MOTORISTS –
– Take a Tip from ROBBIE
Turn indicator blinking too fast? Check your bulbs. An indicator light that blinks more rapidly than usual is the tip-off that a bulb on that side has gone out. Replacing the bad bulb will restore the indicator to its normal blinking frequency.
The beads on tubeless tyres often become stuck to the wheel rim. To free them, rig up this simple press.
Making a Right Turn in a 30 mile-an-hour Area.
Move out towards the centre of the street; but do not cross on to the wrong side. When all is clear, turn as directly as you can with safety.
Making a Right Turn Where Traffic Lanes are Marked
Wait in your correct lane until the way is clear. Then make you turn as quickly and directly as you can with safety.
Making a Right Turn on the Open Road (Without Marked Lanes) This is the safe way-
Watch for oncoming and overtaking traffic and stop if necessary as far as you can to the left. When the way is clear make your turn.
Making a Left Turn (in 30 mile-an-hour Areas and on the Open Road)
Move as close as possible to the left of the road you are leaving. Where traffic lanes are marked, use the left turn lane.
Wait until your path is clear and then turn into the other road keeping as close as practicable to the left throughout the whole movement. It is helpful to other traffic to signal that you intend to turn left.

GRIDIRON FOOTBALL
An exhibition of American gridiron football was recently held at McLean Park, Napier, between teams from Colenso High and Napier Boys’ High Schools. Coached by Elders of the Morman Church, the boys more than made up for their lack of know-how by their enthusiasm. Here we show the dummy quarter-back from Colenso High about to fade a pass.
There were no “beg-your-pardons” as the opposing blokes went into action.

JUNIOR DRAMA FESTIVAL
Nearly all 82 junior members of the Hastings Group Theatre appeared in one or more of the four plays which they presented recently in the studio, Queen Street, Hastings. Above: Mrs. L. Anderson (extreme left) and Mr[s]. V. MacInnes assisted with the gigantic task of making-up the 82 cast.

Below: From the same play are, from left: Susan Wilkinson (cow), Jacqueline Fisher (rabbit), Vivienne Schindel (ivy), John Coleman (wolf), and Neal Buck (bull).

The task of costuming the 82 players must have presented a real challenge to the committee and the tutor, Mrs. Eva Farquarson. In this respect, the services of Mrs. Penny Waddell were most welcome. Top: In their black skin-tight suits are some of the animals from “The Bluebird”. They are Roslyn Goulter (pig), Brigid Watson (ox), and Susan Wellwood (horse).
