(From Our Own Correspondent.) SCHOOL PICNIC. The annual school picnic was held on Monday, February 10, at the Paiea beach, the children being conveyed to Patea by motor lorries kindly provided by Messrs J. Gulliver and ,W. Hamilton. The weather conditions proved ideal, and a most enjoyable day was spent in bathing, children’s races and other amusements. J " During the day Master E. Skevington had the misfortune to run a large fish hook into his foot. He was -immediately conveyed to the doctor to have it extracted, later returning to the beach little the worse for the painful accident. r;'v rJGENERAL.

"Dobson is at. present ; visiting her mother in the Wanganui district. . . A Mrs J. Budd, who has been visiting Mrs Langley, has returned to Palmerston North.
