EGMONT CLUB RECOMMENDATIONS In view of the recent loss of five lives on the Tasman Glacier the executive of the Mount Egmont Alpine Club has issued to members recommendations as to the clothing and equipment essential for mountaineering. “One far too often secs people on the mountain in clothing .that would give very little protection from bad weather,” the executive writes in the club’s bulletin. “It is essential that all climbers carry a rucsac with cardigans, gloves, scarf, balaclava and a wind-proof and rain-proof coat. This coat is of great importance as woollen clothing docs not provide -sufficient protection from the wind and is soon wet through if the weather is bad. No matter how fine the day is when a start is made on the climb, a coat made of japara or some similar material should always be car*, ried. After all the person who cannot carry a rucsac with food and extra clothing has no business to be climbing the mountain at all. “It has been pleasing to note the steady improvement in the equipment carried by most of the club members and those who made the Cook trip were freely congratulated on the completeness of their outfits. THE LAW ON ACCIDENTS. A MAGISTRATE’S WISH. “Wan anybody injured in the collision?” asked Mr. J. H. Salmon, S.M., of a witness in the Hawera Magistrate’s Court yesterday, when he was hearing a lengthy ease in which the motor-car drivers who were involved were charged by the police with breaches of the motor regulations. “No,” replied the witness. The magistrate: Well, why did you ring the police? Witness: I thought it was the law to do so, sir.

The magistrate: Most motorists do, but that is not so. I wish they knew the law. OTAKEHO SUNDAY SCHOOL. PICNIC AT TE NGUTU.

Marguerite Churchill, Kenneth Mac Kenna and Dorothy Burgess, playing the leading roles, give notable performances, and an unusually good supporting cast includes Campbell Gullen and Henry Kolker. “Pleasure Crazed” is an adapta tion of an excellent stage play by Monckton Hoffe, “The Scent of Sweet Almonds,” and the quality of the players, most of whom have made their marks in other important stage and screen successes, is outstanding. The quality of the synchronisation is such as to elicit the highest praise from the most discriminating. Other Fox all talking productions have demonstrated the merit of Movietone, and now “Pleasure Crazed” maintains this high standard both as to story and dialogue quality. A fine programme of “talkie shorts” will also be presented, including Fox Movietone News, a singing act, and an all talkie comedy. The box clans are. at Miss Blake’s chon.
