THRIFT AMONG CHILDREN. POST OFFICE SAVINGS SCHEME. Encouragement to save is being afforded school children by the Post and Telegraph Department’s thrift scheme, in which educational authorities are cooperating. Satisfactory results have so far been attained, quite a number of South Taranaki children having opened accounts. Putting forward the advantages of the scheme the acting postmaster at Hawera, Mr. J. W. Velvin, briefly addressed the scholars at the Hawera main school outlining the facilities that are provided by the Post Office to help girls, and boys to save money. It was possible to commence to save with only one penny. A stamp collection card was provided having 12 spaces, to each of which a penny stamp could be attached. When the cards were filled they would be collected by the teachers and banked about onco a week.

The Post Office Savings Bank gave compound interest and if one shilling a week was deposited for five years the result, with interest, would be £l4 4s 7d, or, in 10 years, £3l 10s I Id. At one school where the scheme had been adopted the scholars had made a target of £lOO to be aimed at' for the year, which meant 10s per head of the scholars (infants not included). In the first term £5O had been saved, which was more than half the target for the year. In 1929 only 21 pupils had savings bank accounts; now there were 180.

Mr. Velvin stressed the confidence that bank balances gave and the success that followed confidence. Habits made in early life became ingrained so that as a result of tho scheme children would acquire the habit of thrift.

HERD-TESTING ACTIVITIES. BOUNDARY QUESTION DISCUSSED. In order definitely to fix a working boundary' between the Taranaki HerdTesting Association in the north and the South Taranaki Herd-Testing Association in the south, a conference between members of the executives of the two associations was held' at Hawera on Monday, the meeting not being open to the Press. Mr. F. W. Atkins presided. Tlie following boundary was mutually agreed upon as that which would give tho host service to testing dairymen and at the same time allow each assoeiat? (b work economically:—Taranaki Association to take all farms on the northern side of the Eltham-Opunake Road and all Eltham suppliers, excepting those on tho Fraser Road, no matter whether north or south of the Eltham-Opunake Road. South Taranaki Association to take all farms on the southern side of the Eltham-Opunake Road and all farms on the Fraser Road to its junction with the Rotokare Aoad. Any present member of the Taranaki Association whoso farm is within the South Taranaki area shall have the right to continue with the Taranaki Association if he so desires. It was. realised that this boundary would divide the suppliers of three factories between the two associations, but owing to the distribution of these suppliers it was considered that this was a matter. which could not he overcome.

This is the second time Mr. Pearce has entertained the club this season, and again everyone was treated to his generous hospitality. The weather clerk must have been still in his good mood and treated the meet with an ideal hunting day. Hares there were in plenty, and nothing marred a perfect day’s sport. Throwing off from the homestead Huntsman Myles took the pack over the road to Mr. C. Pearce’s property. Most of the day was spent on this side of the road, a,nd the gullies on this and Mr. E. Parsons’ property proved to he a rich hiding place for hares. In the early part of the day most of the runs were short and sharp, the hare making to the gully every time. However, one -hare was raised which made for the open ; country, taking a complete circuit of the hedges on Mr. Parsons’ property, to escape in the gully again. Another was put up and after a short run the hounds ran her down in the tussocks. Still another hare took riders over the beautiful green boxthorns to run along the gully near the road, but puss must have doubled back and made for her home. As it was getting late the hounds were whipped oil and turned for home. Instead of tiding along the road the Master took the followers home tlirough Mr. Train’s property, and a straight inn of jumps gave a perfect ending to a* perfect day. Most of the jumps during the day iivere very long and gave a splendid opportunity to riders to go two and three together, and this gave a spectacular exhibition to the numerous cars in the paddocks. After an enjoyable cup of tea and refreshments Dr. Simmons thanked the host and hostess and their neighbours for their generous hospitality. He remarked that all had been eagerly looking forward to the day arid he was sure that none could bo disappointed. He also reminded them of tlie point-to-point next Saturday, the ball on Friday and of Mr. A. Mitchell’s hunt on Wednesday, extending to all present an invitation to attend. Mr. Pearce remarked that although this was the first meet at his new home it would not be the last, and as he had done at Castle Hill lie would do here and threw the country open for the hunt.
