When he was a boy, Mr. Massey, like most boys,, was no respecter of school property, judging by a story concerning a recent visit to his old school in the North of Ireland which he told when addressing the children of tha Taumarunui school last week. Mr. Massey said I that like all boys he used to carry a | pocket-knife. When he rs-visited the I old school he looked for some trace that had been left by his knife, and. sura enough, he found his own initials, "W.F.M.," carved on one of the desks.
