BEST TOBACCO MONEY CAN BUY
There is a good reason why Rothmans is the World’s largest selling – most wanted King Size Virginia. It’s simply that Rothmans extra length, finer filter and the best tobacco money can buy, give you a cooler, smoother, more satisfying taste. Try them yourself and you’ll agree.
ROTHMANS KING SIZE REALLY SATISFIES

MUDDY RUGBY
“SQUELCH” . . . and out under their boots and liberally festooned on their persons the mud stuck during what was described as the muddiest conditions for rugby for many years in Hawke’s Bay. The occasion was the game, Hastings Boys High School versus Gisborne High School, the curtain raiser to the representative match, H.B. and Manawatu. Some of the boys are seen below taking advantage of the water trough provided for the match.

“Don’t play with fire” . . . was the good advice offered to Hawke’s Bay children during Fire Prevention Week recently. Members of the fire brigades visited schools and brought up to the minute instructions about the right and wrong uses of fire. They are shown using a model at Mangateretere School.

AMERICAN PREACHERS IN HAWKE’S BAY
Hastings and Napier Baptists were in full attendance at the Hawke’s Bay airport recently to welcome two American preachers who, along with 100 other Baptist Ministers from the States, are visiting New Zealand for a two-week Trans-Pacific crusade. The American visitors are second on left, chatting to the Rev. Tom Cadman of Napier and Dr. W. E. Welsh (wearing stetson) from El Paso, Texas, pictured with his host minister the Rev. G. Manaan of Hastings.
Below: Dr. Welsh has a friendly word to Mr. T. Tomoana of Hastings, who offered the traditional challenge to the American preachers when they arrived.
Page 21
The Rev. Bell looks a little perturbed about what awaits him as his colleague Dr. Welsh is greeted in traditional Maori fashion by Mrs. Mere Pou on their arrival at Napier.
Below: It’s just as well the visitors were forewarned of their Maori welcome or perhaps they may have had second thoughts about coming to New Zealand, when they saw and heard the spirited challenge of Mr. Tomoana.

NEW FACTORY OPENED
An innovation which may considerably alter construction costs and thinking was recently put on view in Napier. A fabrication technique known as “Gang-Nail“, it is claimed to be used in 80 per cent of American housing. Hobert [Robert] Holt and Sons Ltd., who have one of the only two “Gang-Nailers” in New Zealand, displayed the technique to over 100 architects, engineers, builders and local authority representatives. Here can be seen a section of a truss on the clamp table.

ON SAFARI
Huntin’? Shootin’? Fishin’? Well these members of the Hawke’s Bay District of the Christian Youth Methodist Movement could have been doing any or all of these on this ‘Safari” organised recently in Napier. With stops at Westshore, Greenmeadows, and other places, where participants partook of refreshments, the Safari was judged by observers from other churches. Here we show Valerie Owens of Napier about to leave the “Clive Square Game Reserve”.
Among the participants were Joy Wills, Napier, Barbara Boyle and Sue Thompson of Hastings.
One of the organisers was “Great White Hunter” Michael Brosnan of Napier.

On hand to make sure everybody obeyed the rules, was the Safari Police, represented by Jim Bently of Hastings.

The two photographs shown here were taken recently at the scene of a smash on the corner of Nuffield Avenue and Latham Street. The site of many road accidents (at least eight in the past five years) and of two deaths. May we suggest to the incoming Napier City Council, that this badly lit, dangerous corner, be regarded as a traffic hazard, and investigated as such.
