The Kia Ton Croquet Club will hold a five hundred evening on Wednesday. The Hawke’s Bar Rivers Board invites tenders for repairs to the stop bank at Pakakura A man residing at Te Kopuru (Northern Wairoa) has a fox terrier, which has a peculiar penchant for searching for ambergris (states a northern exchange). After the recent heavy gales the man and the dog visited the beach where the terrier found several pieces, the total weight being lib. 120 z., worth £129 10/-. Were it not for the dog’s acute sense of smell the ambergris might wash to and fro in the surf without coming ashore, and would gradually deteriorate. So keen is the terrier’s sense of smell that, when some ambergris was rubbed on a man’s handkerchief, the dog went almost frantic in its efforts to find out where the scent came from. So many women wonder if a permanent wave will suit them; if in doubt Mercer’s London expert, can within 20 minutes, free of charge and without obligation, place in your hair, a temporary wave, exactly like a permanent one. 11.
