A HAPPY THOUGHT
A DAY IN AN ORCHARD. It seems hard to believe that in this fruit-growing district of Hawke’s Bay with apples and other fruit wasting by the hundredweight, the Hawke's Bay Children’s Homes are actually short of fruit' It was a very happy thought that came to a Napier man who owns a motor-lorry when he drove the boys from the Hawke’s Bay Home out to Havelock North on Saturday. Mr and Mrs B. Crompton Smith had invited the boys to their orchard and offered their reject apples to be collected. The result was most happy and successful. A big horse-sledge was seized upon with enthusiasm and a number of boys placed the cases on this and revelled in the work of bringing them to the lorry. Twelve large cases of good Stunner and Delicious apples were gathered up, and the visitors were also allowed to pick up walnuts for themselves and cut some vegetables. Then tea was made outside over a fire, and plenty of delicious food provided by Mrs Herbert Coleman Before departure a song was sung by the boys in appreciation of their delightful day. Both girls and boys are greatly benefited by an outing in the country such as this, and it is hoped that other orchardists will invite the children if there is fruit to spare.
