Manawatu Heads

From Our Own Correspondent. Mr and Mis Eric Bramwell (Feilding) are here for ;:i fortnight’s holiday. Mr Frank Guy, who recently suffered the loss of a finger through an accident, has now rest med work. Mr and Mrs: R. O. Hornblow and family (Foxton) are still in occupation of their beach residence. The small child of Mrs McPhail, who recently fell and broke her arm, and who has been under the care of Nurse Collins, Foxton. has now returned home. Members o: the newly formed Tarigimoana Surf Club paid a visit to the local club on Sunday. A demonstration by the visitors was witnessed by a god crowd of spectators. Complaints arc still being voiced in regard to the inadequate facilities px-ovided at the local post office. Lack of light and privacy in the telephone box and want of space in the office itself are the main objections to t.i: e present conditions. This matter was ventillated some months ago. but nothing has yet been done in. the Those housewives who annually depend on a supply of blackberries for jam-mak-ing. will this season be disappointed to find that some parasite has practically exterminated the vines. As they are growing in close proximity to lupins which have been similarly attacked, it is feasible to suppose that the lupin grub may be responsible. Surday School Picnic.
