PRESENTATION TO MR. AND MRS. T. M. CRAWFORD. A farewell was extended to to Mr. T. M. Crawford, Postmaster at Te Kuiti, by the Post and Telegraph staff in the local office on Friday last.

Mr. Belk paid high tribute to Mr. Crawford’s excellent work as Postmaster in Te Kuiti, mentioning particularly his courteous and kindly manner of dealing with both the staff and public, and the capable handling of Post Office affairs generally. Other speakers also spoke in a similar strain.
After returning thanks Mr. Crawford related several entertaining incidents in his 40 years of service with the Department.
At a later function, when the staff were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Crawford, a further presentation of a pipe and pouch was made to Mr. Crawford.
