No paper tomorrow “The Press” will not be published tomorrow, New Year’s Day. Grey River race
Canoeists from various parts of New Zealand are expected at Greymouth on Sunday to compete in the Grey River canoe race. G. Teare, of the Sumner Surf Life-Sav-ing Club, who has provided much opposition to the wellknown canoeist, R. Page, will compete, as also will J. Campbell, one of the winners of the Westport tyre race, who is entered in the cruising class. D. Wales, and Miss C. Borck, of Christchurch, are favourites in the junior section. Prizes will be presented after the race by the Minister of Tourism (Mr Walker). The over-all winner will receive a racing canoe.
Labour-saving device
A labour-saving device in the way of a postcard is proving very popular at the Boys’ Brigade camp at Waipara. The souvenir postcard shows a tramper on the front, with the words: “I’m much too busy to write.” The card contains seven phrases, each with several answers, and the sender has to cross out the phrases which are not appropriate. The sender has then only to address the card, fill in his camp address, and sign his name.
