near Ncrtliianders — » U it wasn’t for the fact that Hikurangi has beaten * Matepouri after a hard three-weeks’ struggle, and : that Fataua has another 16/3 to its credit, Ararua s i fir< t ccnfribution has arrived at H.Q.. and our whole. . fund has passed the £7O mark, I believe Id have = forgotten all about our Holiday Campaign tins week | in the hustle and bustle of the Show • One of these days, I feel sure, there’!! be quite > an explosion in Whangarei—one of those minor | cafastrophies that upset people for miles around. ] It will be caused by some misguided person , saying “show” to someone closely associated with the ? A. and P. Association, when what is really intended | is the Whangarei Winter Exhibition. ' j I don’t blame the Exhibition people in the least, , because I’ve peeped behind the scenes and the grand • display of trade exhibits, produce, works and , models is worthy of the name “Exhibition.” | “But look,” said the Princess, as she glanced over my shoulder, “you’ve said ‘show’ yourself at the end of the first paragraph.” | And so I have! ’ I “But it was so much easier to type,” I excused. \ “Anyway, I’ll be more careful in future,” | “You’d better,” said the Princess. “We don’t want j any explosions around here—the S.P. does enough \ damage as it is.” '. , ~3 “And really,” remarked the Tohunga, “I don t j blame the Show people . . .” | “There!” shouted the Office Boy. “You’ve said it , yourself.” “And,” he added, “in my usual correct way. I’ll ; tell you now that I’m going* to the EXHIBITION every night this week. AND” —emphatically——“l’m i visiting the White Elephant stall each evening.” An excellent resolution, Northlanders. YOU must visit the White Elephant Stall, too. Cheerio! KUPE. fcangatira, Northland Tribe.
