SOME TROUBLE
TOUR OF NEW ZEALAND “BOND WAGGON” ADVENTURES The “pilgrimage” of the Liberty Loan “Bond Waggon” party through North Island districts has not bee* without travelling “adventures,” according to Mr Dudley Wrathall (manager of the IZB concert troupe touring with the waggon). At Paeroa on Friday Mr Wrathall stated that on one occasion, at a greasy part of the road between Opotiki and Whakatane, the waggon careered over s 10fL bank, crashing through a hawthorn hedge and a seven-wired fence, which by the momentum, of the vehicle was carried away, the waggon eventually coming to rest in a flooded peddock. It took the party, with local help, several hours to extricate the waggon from its watery bed and replace it on the read. Another time, the sendees eft P.W.D. “balldoser” were requiaitfeMd to extricate the waggon from a slctigh consequent upon muddied road*.
These incidents naturally upset *e party’s travelling timetable.
