Several motorists of the “ road hog ” variety converted the road through the Waipu Cove settlement into a speedway recently (says the Northern Advocate). This practice is as dangerous as it is iil-manned, and a small boy, who was playing on the side of the road, would have been struck by one car had it not been for the resourceful action of a lady spectator, who pulled the little fellow into safety. “ They have proved to be a very smart lot,” said Captain J. L. Findlay, M.C., in commenting to a Christchurch Sun reporter on the progress of the flying cadets at the Wigram Aerodrome. The cadets have been flying in dual control machines, but very shortly now they will be taking up solo machines. This year’s course finishes on March 3.
