COCOA FOR SCHOOL.
GIFT TO WAIHEKE ISLAND, j MILK SUPPLY SHORTAGE. The generous gift of a considerable amount of cocoa by an Auckland firm will be much appreciated by the children of the Ostend (Putiki Bay) School this winter.

Such a state of things, residents state, indicates a lack of system on the part of those responsible, for while Waiheke Island is rural enough, the fact yet remains that every household does not own "five acres and a cow," and milk is no less expensive than in the more populous < out res. Possibly the authorities — from holiday visits— have the belief that beinjr an island it automatically flows with milk and lionev.
