ISpecial to “Northern Advocate”! HAWERA, This Day.
It costs little to live and nothing to die at Norfolk Island, where the climate is ideal and there are no taxes, according to Mr W. E. Hird, former headmaster of the Patea School, who is visiting relatives at Patea. Mr Hird said that a coffin, a hearse and a grave are provided free and that the flag is flown half-mast and the years of the dead person struck one by one on a tolling bell.
