A DUTCH SETTLER’S HOME.—Mr K. Berkhaut (in the middle, wearing clogs), toasts the men who are building his house at Greers road, Papanui. In accordance with Dutch custom, a flag is flown when the builders reach the “nok,” or ridge of roof. The two men on the left also come from Holland, and one is wearing clogs. Mr Berkhaut, who has designed his own house, is a soil-tester by occupation and a war-time serviceman in the Royal Netherlands Navy. For the last three years he has lived with his family in a hut on the property.
