There can bo no doubt that Rotorua can provide rare novelty in its daily happenings. The appearance of a steam vpnt in the fairway of the golf course and the subsidence 'of a bedstead over a “warm spot” are a couple of illustrations t of occurred recently. No serious consequences were attached to either happening, and they are accepted quite as a matter of course. A curious case of “ currency hoarding" is reported from Hawke's Bay. Some weeks.ago a farmer lost a £1 bank note in his fields. No trace of the missing note could be found at the time, but recently it was discovered in. a bird's nest on the farm. Possibly due to its having got wet, portion of the note was missing, but the remainder was in good condition and quite legible. A high tribute to the work in the United Kingdom of the New Zealand Fruit Export Control Board was paid by Mr. Dan Wuille, principal of a prominent firm of fruit salesmen, of Covent Garden, London, in an address to Hawke’s Bay fruitgrowers in Hastings. tit l urate you growers very strongly to IWf. by the board. The methods of marketing of your fruit employed by the board are the envy of every other country,” he said.
