"Te Awamutu, with its wealth of historic associations, has been left out in the cold," commented a Te Awamutu resident when discussing the altered itinerary for the visit of the Duke of Gloucester to the Waikato and King Country. He added that it would be interesting to know just why Ohaupo was selected as a stopping place for the Royal train, to enable his Royal Highness to proceed by motor to play polo at Cambridge on the 29th inst. That remark called forth an abundance of suggested reasons, including one that the Te Awamutu railway station was so much behind the times that they were ashamed of it; another said that Hamilton must have "engineered" the ' preference for Ohaupo; a third said the Te Awamutu civic authorities had failed to promptly advance a claim for that town and district. Dr. Frank Gallash, of Kellerberrin, with the aid of mirrors watched his own appendix being removed by another practitioner. The operation was performed after a local anaesthetic had been injected into the spine.
