BABY’S FLIGHT
CURE FOR WHOOPING COUGH p.A. AUCKLAND, Jan. 2. A three-months-old Maori child suffering from whooping cough had its first untroubled sleep for some time last night after a flight to 7000 feet in a Rotorua Aero Club Tiger Moth. This treatment was recommended by the local doctor and the flight was made with the child sitting on a nurse’s knee in an open cockpit. It was the second such mission the club’s aircraft had undertaken within two days. Another child, a boy aged 41, with the same complaint, was taken to 8000 feet.
At 4.59 p.m. yesterday a grass fire on the Caversham railway embankment was extinguished by a machine from the Central Fire Brigade.
