Afr C. Gardiner, of Kimbolton Road, Feilding, has in his possession a twenty million German mark note issued on July 20,, 1923. Although valueless today, the note at one time would have represented a fortune if exchangable for gold marks. The recently constructed highway approaches to the Kiwitea Stream bridge on Kimbolton Road are particularly rough at present. Potholes .are numerous and for light model cars the surface is far from being satisfactory. The profit from the concert conducted recently by the Feilding Agricultural High School amounted to approximately £2B, which is to be devoted to the Kowhai Park memorial pavilion fund. The Feilding Swimming Club advises that Air L. AY 7 . Penhey has generously donated a cup to the club, to be known as the Frank Penhey Alemorial Cup. It is to be competed for by boys under 12 years who have learnt to swim during the current season over a distance of 33 1-3 yards. Tho cup is a handsome one and merits wide competition.
