For the programme entitled “Nothing under Seventy/ 7 to be broadcast from 28L., Sydney, this evening, a slight alteration has been made, in that the announcer will be Mr James Hayward, aged 85.

Unless some steps are taken to ascertain the cause and protect the. spaAvning Foxton’s river fishing industry will be wiped out with serious financial loss to those engaged.

A good story, which has its pathetic side, is told in Sydney about the 68-page centenary issue of the “Sydney Morning Herald” recently. On the Monday following its publication an eager young schoolboy called at the newspaper office and said'he wished to apply for the position of apprentice to the mechanical department. The executive whom he saw was puzzled. They did not need an apprentice, and they did not advertise in Saturday’s paper. The lad was certain, and turning to a file, pointed to an advertisement for an apprentice, “Apply this office.” “Did you notice the date on this section of the paper?” the Herald man asked of the lad. It was the facsimile of the first issue of the paper, April 18, 1831, which was included as a supplement in the centenary issue. “I’m sorry, lad,” he said kindly as the very disappointed and red-faced boy turned away, “but you arc just 100 years too late for the job.”

“When I’m real hungry for _ a smoke,” said a speaker at a social gathering the other day, “a cigarette is no earthly good to me. It’s like offering a fancy 'biscuit to a starving man. Even a cigar leaves me cold. A pipe of good honest ‘cut-up’ is what I crave —New Zealand toasted for preference.” Most veteran smokers are like that. They prefer a well-loaded briar to the best cigar or cigarette. As to the New Zealand toasted tobacco it has this to recommend it: the toasting rids it of most of its nicotine, and leaves it sweet, cool and pure, whereas the foreign tobaccos are often rank with nicotine —a deadly poison, bear in mind. Can stuff like that be good to smoke, day after day, think you? There are only four brands of toasted: Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10. They are all famous for their delicious flavour and fine aroma. And you can smoke them freely even to excess. They are toasted, and therefore harmless. — 186.*
