Miss S. Evans, of Awanui, is visiting Auckiand. Mrs. R. G. Dean, of Kaitaia, left this week to spend a short holiday in Auckland. Mr. J. Moyes, of Te Kuiti, has joined the staff of the N.A. Farmers’ Co-op. at Kaitaia. Messrs. R. I. Allen and R. E. Williams, Post and Telegraph inspectors, who are in the North, visited Kaitaia officially last Thursday. Miss Zita Berghan, of Ahipara, who has been spending a holiday in Auckland for the past four weeks, returned last Tuesday. Mrs. E. C. Matthews left Kaitaia last Monday for Palmerston North, to stay for about two months with her daughter, Nurse Straker, who recently underwent an operation for appendicitis. Mrs. A. H. Puckey of Kaitaia, who has been on a six weeks’ holiday with her daughter, Mrs. G. Beatson at Wakefield, Nelson, leaves shortly on the return journey, visiting friends and relatives en route. The condition of little Leslie Matthews, the victim of the accident last Tuesday week, though greatly improved since his admittance to the Mangonui hospital, is still somewhat critical. Mrs. Matthews returned to Kaitaia last Monday. Mr. and Mrs. D. Archibald gave a children’s party on Saturday at their home on the Awanui road, to celebrate the ninth birthday of their little grandson, Harold Gray. Favoured with an ideal summer day, the merry crowd of young folk played and feasted on the lawn till the time came to depart homeward, full of happiness and good things, with a chunk of the birthday cake for after consumption.
