NGAHERE HALL.

/To the Editor.)

Sir, —Surely ere this, Ngahere residents must have made a startling discovery, insomuch that their Hall Committee consists of humans that hibernate. Although one would have thought that “Old Resident’s” bomb of January 29 would have made them realise that hibernation only lasts a short season and not the whole year. However, we must all admit they have worked hard and deserve a spell, so why not hand over the reins, etc, to some other body if they are really exhausted. I am sure one and all are and will be truly grateful for what they have done, whereas just now everyone’s becoming disgusted for what’s left undone. I understand one member left their ranks .apparently lie had not the knack of hibernating. The

same person now appears very lively in the local Tennis Club, but, of course, they also are sorely handicapped with no place for any entertainment. However, in conclusion, should the Hall Committee really be (quoting the Biblical passage) “not dead but sleepeth,” and do awake and think a new hall could be done without (as they appear to now) I would suggest that out of the £3BO odd they have, a new piano be bought for the school and the remainder be handed over to the Tennis Club, or at least inform the owners of the cash (the public) what they intend to do with it. Of course, there are a few old residents who would really apreciate a trip, say to the Sydney Exhibition later on. Thanking you for space, I am etc., INTERESTED.
