A full green has been laid down on a site near the Maungatapere Hall and arrangements for the opening in October are well advanced. FLOUNDER PLENTIFUL Flounder and sole have been plentiful on the Far North west coast this season and good catches have been secured in Ahipara Bay, on lower 90-Mile Beach. Using under-water lights and spears, two Kaitaia enthusiasts secured almost 40 fish from shallow surf in one evening's sport this week and left off only because they could carry no more. BASEBALL IN NORTH A baseball club is to be formed in Kaitaia and the first practice will be held this week-end, it was decided at an informal meeting of young people convened by Mr Ken Timbers on Wednesday nignt. Information was that sufficient players would be available to form both men’s and women’s blubs, and while the attendance was not large, enthusiasm was high. When on a proper footing the Kaitaia Club hopes to engage in outside games with both Dargaville and Whangarei players, as well as competing with existing Far North Teams. * Henry Wilson's showing in Cretonnes, Tapestries, Curtain Nets, Repps, etc., is arousing considerable attention. The goods are the very latest in design and colourihg. 36in. Fancywork Linen in ecru and white has also just opened
