An enjoyable afternoon wae spent recently in celebrating the eighty-third birthday of Mr. E. Eowley, of Mill Road, Whangarei, when friends motored him 18 miles to the residence of his daughter, Mrs. JR. A. Drake of Aponga. The birthday cake was made by a granddaughter and eut by the guest of honour. . Many relatives nnd friends were present, and among them the youngest grandchild 10 months old. Mr. Rowley is an old pioneer of Hukerenui, and remembers when, 47 years ago, the railway only went as far as Kamo, and from_ there the journey had to be continued on horseback. There are 12 children, 42 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. • *
