Lake Wakatip Mail QUEENSTOWN, TUESDAY, JULY 14 1931

During the week there has been a good deal of frost-, but yesterday a slight thaw set in, which was welcomed after the hard conditions of the preceding days. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays mails for Invercargill close at the local post-office at 9.15 a.m. A dance in aid of the local football club was quite a success on Wednesday night. A number of young people made merry till well after midnight dancing to the music supplied by Miss Kish; Eraser (piano; and Migs fieno Hates (violin). A spice of novelty was given, too, in some of the dance numbers being provided by wireless from City orchestras.

Alterations to the Lake Wakatipu Steamer Service ai’C advertised by the Railway Department in this issue. A fast moving, uproarious comedydrama packed with thrilling adventure and breath-taking suspense/ "Trailing Trouble” at Town Hall pictures next Saturday.

Why—you may ask, if you don’t know—is toasted tobacco considered so superior to untoasted ? Well, that'is an easy one! —because it IS superior. Sound-s like a lady’s reason? Fact all the same! Before the toasting process was invented you couldn’t buy tobacco tree from nicotine for love or money. There wasn’t any- There’s plenty now. All our choice New Zealand tobaccos are toasted. Hence their delicious flavour and unique bouquet. Yes, and

bettor .still, they aie free from the poisonous nicotine, so that you may smoke them ad. lib. without the slightest injury to your health. Can you do that with tin- unicasted tobaccos—and all the imported tobaccos are untoasted——no, you cannot. Full of nicotine as they can stick! There are only four brands of toasted: Hiverhead Gold, 1 Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10. And it’s just as well to bear that in mind when buying, for imitations are appearing on the market. But ’’imitation is the sincemsit form of flattery” remember. ’Trailing Trouble.” It’s all-talk-ing, all-laughing, and all thrilling, ••rowu Hall, next Saturday.

The people of Shotover purpose holding a dance in the new Public Hall next Friday in pud of the debt extinction fund. Having established a big reputation for doing things well, they can be relied on to give patrons a good time. At the week-end the Public 'Works staff completed the l concrete breakwater that has l now been in course of erection along the foreshore of the bay for many months past. The Last part of the work to be taken in hand was the concrete wall at the entrance to the town wharf —the connecting link between the ■ new and the rebuilt portion. This proved a very difficult- and tedious job, as it was not easy to work under the existing conditions, in addition to which the hard frost had a very fiirm grip of the ground at Jdie entrance to the wharf. The system on which the breakwaters have been built coniists of driving reinforced concrete piles, and lining them at the back with concrete slabs. This presents a very fine uniform . appearance, viewed from the lake, and should prove almost indestructible. A footpath lias been laid down in concrete for the- whole length of the new breastwork, making a splendid promenade. The protective wall that rises from this curves outwards towards the top, thus forming a break for the waves in times of storm when the lake is high. Queenstown has reason to. bo very proud of its breakwater, which, besides serving a very necessary purpose, is a distinct ornament to the town. The. Public Works Department is also to be. congratulated on the successful accomplishment of the undertaking, while the stall' of workmen deserve a m?'ed of praise for the faithful service they have given in carrying out the contract. Throw on another log, Light up your pipe, old lad, Draw up that cosy chair— What if the weather’s bad?
