Fears for the safety of a young Ormond girl, occasioned by her disappearance from the locality of her home on Saturday evening, were set at rest by tlie .location of the girl in town, and her return to her parents. She was unaware of the concern tclt by her relatives who bad gone as far as to acquaint the police of the fears of an accident. Mails despatched from Gisborne for delivery in the United Kingdom prior to or shortly after Christmas Day were rather heavier this year than in 1932. The package dispatches were decidedly more bulky and weighty this year, and the number of Christmas editions of wellknown weeklies sent abroad from Gisborne was remarkable. Letter dispatches were a little heavier than in 1932, in the opinion of the officers handling them, though it was difficult to judge this year as the Home mail was split into two consignments, one sent a fortnight ago ml the other on Saturday. The latter was-not, accurately speaking, a mail for Christmas delivery, as it is not expected to reach the United Kingdom until Boxin-r Day, and will take a day or two thereafter to circulate to addresses throughout the British Isles. _ However, for many New Zealand residents who found the rush and bustle of sending off tlieir Home letters and parcels rather fatiguing, the chance-to indulge afterthoughts was welcome, and Saturday’s outgoing mail carried a large lfumber of letters and packages obviously intended to brighten the Yulefido season for addressees in the Old Country,.
