The friendly help of neighbours has got a New Plymouth family out of a serious diflßculty. During the recent gale a partially completed house in which the family was living wa blown down, and the furniture was badly damaged. Later in the day, when the gale had subsided, two or three neighbours arrived with claw hammers, and without the slightest fuss proceeded to dismantle the remains of the fallen building and to stack the timber and iron neatly at the sides. Next day more helpers arrived, and throughout the w'eek-end many willing hands built a new dwelling. The householder and his family are recent arrivals from Tasmania. Needless to say, they are very grateful for the assistance that has been given them.
