Hammond's Team Successful in Full Rink Tournament A full rink tournament controlled by the Kaitaia Bowling Club was held at the weekend. Twelve teams paitieipated, and at the end of five games three teams skipped by Hammond, Freeman and Dyer, with four win? each, were level. In the play off Dyer drew the bye and Hammond defeated Freeman by scoring freely the first three ends to maintain the lead in a game of only seven heads. In the final Dyer’s 'team, after having “cooled down”, were never in the hunt against Hammond, scoring only once in the seven heads. V. Brien, lead for Dyer, played consistently well throughout, and out-pointed Rae, another first-year player showing form above the average beginner but No. 2 for Hammond in Boreham, nullified much of Brieivs good work, and with Hales appreciating the difficult conditions, Hammond was always on top to win 11-1.

The A.O.F. Lodge, Pride of Awanui, held a meeting in their own hall in Awanui last Tuesday evening. The attendance was good, Chief Ranger Q. Cosson presiding. As this was the first regular meeting since the lodge re-opened, lodge business took up the greater part of the evening, but prospects look bright for the future running of the Lodge. After the business had been dispensed with the evening concluded with supper. NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING In an endeavour to ensure that the new High School building will be available for occupation from the beginning of next year, the contractor has been instructed to complete the ceiling in Pinex in lieu of making any further delay by waiting for the arrival of plaster materials. It has been impressed on the Education Board by the Kaitaia School Committee, that the overcrowding at present being suffered makes imperative that every endeavour should be made to ensure that the new High School buildings be ready for occupation from the beginning of next year.
