Quest for Knowledge

As one of a series of visits to industrial plants in the city, a school class of Palmerston North children were shown over “The Times’' printing plant on Monday afternoon. They displayed a keen interest in the steps taken in the production of a modern daily newspaper. When question time came, one little girl bestowed on (lie staff member showing them around a look almost of heroworship when he told her modestly that “Yes, he did know before it appeared in the paper what was on next day at the pictures.” And it took more than the discerning power of the same staff member to detect whether or not there -was a sting in the tail of the question asked by another fair damsel, who wanted to know, “Where do you get your weather reports?”

Failed t.o Exhibit Award In the Palmerston North Magistrate's Court yesterday the Department of Labour proceeded against J. P. Hoare, of Palmerston North, for failing to exhibit a copy of the hotel employees’ award The original copy was lost during renovations. A fine of £1 was imposed. Army Motor Vehicles The average person who becomes involved in a mishap with an army vehicle looks for a number plate, but in many cases there is none. The only number is painted perhaps on the bonnet and, if a truck, on the tailboard where it gets worn. The matter was mentioned at last night’s meeting of the Automobile Association (Manawatu) and it was decided to mention it at this week’s meeting of the North Island Motor Union.
