The Greymouth Model Aero Club ad their first outdoor fly during the week-end, and judging by the enthusiasm shown by the members present, th. ? Club promises to supply the airminded youth of Greymouth with a pleasant indoor and outdoor hobby. A strong easterly wind was blowing and spoiled what would have otherwise have been a successful outing. Quite a numb r of the members brought along models to fly. Some models did fly. while others did not, but when tho next contest is held some really good flying of the models should b e witnessed. P. Hambleton secured best time with a stick model, which kept a'oft for IS 2-5 seconds. Great interest was evidenced in the models flown by the President. Mr W. A. Judkins, both of which rut up very creditable performances considering the tricky wind that was blowing. The next outdoor flight, should prove very interesting. when members improve their models and rectify their faults. “Is there such a thing as nicotineless tobacco —tobacco with no nicotine in it?” asked a customer of a Wellington tobacconist the other day. “No,” said the tobacconist, “there is not. But there is much less nicotine in some brands than in others.” “And is there no way of extracting the stuff?” enquired the customer, adding, “poisonous isn’t it?” “It’s deadly,” replied the tobacconist, and continued: “The only way, I believe, is to roast the tobacco, same as the manufacturers of the New Zealand brands are doing. They have installed an elaborate plant in their factory, I’m told, for the purpose.” “And does the roasting really get rid of the nicotine?’’ queried the customer. “Most of it. Sufficient to make it safe for the smoker to indulge to any extent. Greatly improves the flavour and bouquet, too. It’s a wonderful process.” Replying to a further question the tobacconist said: ”There are only four brands of toasted: Riverhead Gold, Cut Plug No. 10, Cavendish and Navy Cut No. 3.” The customer is “trying them out.”
