Talking about “carting coals to Newcastle”, a local illustration occurred on Wednesday last. Kawhia is justifiably proud of its reputation as a fishing resort, so that the assumption should be justifiable that a plentiful supply is available for the inhabitants in that locality. It remains as a fact, however, that when a party of military reservists arrived in Te Awamutu on Wednesday last for medical examination, they immediately made for a restaurant, where “fish and chips” were the order of the day. Not satisfied with the first visit, they patronised the establishment on two more occasions before returning home. Perhaps, it was a case wherein fish cooked in Te Awamutu tasted sweeter than when caught fresh at Kawhia.
