There is at least one motorist in Dannevirke who Ims reason fox- believing that good luck is a very real thing and that he enjoys it in generous measure (savs die “News”). Coming into town from Piri Piri the other night the man at the wheel o f a small truck essayed to make the turn on the Mangatera hill, opposite Gild's’ nurseries, in good style ll’ mav have misjudged the curve of the road, or his car may have developed a waywardness of its own. for suddenly it left the road and careered sideways down the gully, threatening at any moment to topple on to its side. After travelling some distance it came to a standstill “right side up." and the timely arrival of a good Samaritan, who helped the owner-driver to get hack upon the road, brought to an end one of those adventures which helps to make motoring at least interesting.
