HAWERA GUN CLUB CONTEST A REPRESENTATIVE GATHERING. FURTHER ACCURATE SHOOTING. The Hawera Gun Club’s week-end shoot, which drew competitors from all • parts of Taranaki, was concluded with a second 12 bird sweep-stake and an American shoot. The former was shared by seven shots, Uttinger, Green, Haycock, Barker, Snushell, Knuckey and Winiki dividing the money. The American shoot was won outright by Lundberg, who secured his ten birds, using his second ■ barrel only once. The seven who gained their .12 birds in the sweep were shooting with deadly accuracy, especially the four who accounted for their birds without resorting. to the second barrel. Lundberg’s shooting was faultless in spite of a fading light and tricky wind. In the results which appeared in yesterday’s News, the 2’l bird ■ match was reported as the gold medal match, whereas it was for money to the value of £2O, the medal being for. the best aggregate in the 12 bird cup and first 12 bird sweep shoots.. F. Casey secured both the medal and £2O after steady accurate shooting. ' ■. The luncheon and afternoon tea kindly provided for those present by Mrs. W. O’Brien was greatly appreciated, especially by the visitors from other parts of the province. Details are:— 12 BIRD, SWEEP NO. 2.

HAWERA GOLF CLUB’S LINKS COMPREHENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS. ENTHUSIASTIC WORKING BEES. Having now acquired the freehold of the 70 acres it was formerly leasing, the Hawera Golf Club bus commenced a comprehensive scheme for improving the links. When this is completed the Fairfield course will bo well up to modern standards. Enthusiastic working bees liaVc done a great deal to clear the lupin area, where most of the alterations will bo made. If the work proceeds according to plan after New Year, it is hoped that some of the new fairways and greens will be sown next autumn. The complete scheme, which will bo carried out as finance permits, has been drawn up by Major A. E. Conway, New Plymouth. Five new holes are incorporated and the course will be lengthened to over 6000 yards, th'us complying with championship requirements. The first four holes of the proposed new course will be the same as at present. Crater, however, will be dispensed with and a new, hole, 150 yards in length, with the green where the lupins now are, substituted. The te.e at Outlook will be taken back .130 yards into the lupins, over which it will be necessary to drive. The green will be brought closer to the existing tec, but the length of the hole will be increased from 360 yards to 400. The seventh hole will be 550 yards instead of 300, the green being in the present waste land. A new short hole will be substituted for the 380-yard eighth, with the fence on the left.

HAWERA HIGH SCHOOL BOARD.

ARRANGEMENT FC>R BOYS-' CAMP. ■ The Hawera High School Board met last night, Mr. R. S. Sage presiding over a full attendance. The board agreed to the expenditure of £lO as subsidy on' the cost of a camp to be held prob•ably in’ the second week of February. The boys will pay 8s each towards the camp, which will be purely optional. The headmaster explained that physical drill would comprise the greater part of the programme. Officers from the Defence Department would be ‘‘borrowed’’ for the occasion. The proposed new regulation for the appointment of teachers issued by the Education Department were discussed. A motion-was passed that it seemed impracticable to expect, as implied by these regulations, technical teachers to attain as high a standard in a literary subject as teachers of academic subjects. This objection is to be forwarded to the right quarter. “ . The headmaster, Mr. A. Gray, reported that the roll was 243, of whom 102 were in , literary forms, 101 commerci.J, 19 home science, 4 agriculture, and 17 engineering. Evening students totalled 36,- there being 13 studying mechanical subjects, 9 plumbing and 14 woodwork. The examinations were very close and everyone was working hard. The annual sports gatherings of boys and girls had been • most successful, some very fine performances being recorded. The orchestra, combined with the art club, had given a fine programme since the last meeting of the board. It was hoped to present “H.M.S. Pinafore” on December 17, and the school would close for the long vacation- on December 18. A serious leak in the roof above the boys’ stairway was reported by the caretaker. The school was indebted to Mr. - A. E. Morris for a very fine library copy of Shakespeare and to Mr. Tugwell for a number of copies of The Bookman. One of the boys, Carr Jones, had also given a number of geographical journals. The engagement of the Opera House for the presentation of •'•'H.M.S. Pinafore” on December 17 and- probably for the prizegiving on December 18 was left to the chairman and headmaster. It was decided that all cups won by pupils should be engraved in suitable manner.

EFFECT OF MILK SEPARATION DIFFICULTY IN CHEESE-MAKING. AERATION A POSSIBLE CAUSE. Dealing solely with ' the • scientific aspects, Mr. P. O. Veale, dairy research chemist at Hawera, briefly traversed the effects of separation on miik for cheesemaking in conversation with a Daily News reporter yesterday. He stated at tho outset that he had always considered that mechanical handling of the milk should be avoided whenever practicable. There seemed no chemical reason, Mr. Veale stated, why cream and skim milk after separation should not be mixed to form milk identical with the milk before separation. There was a difference, however, so that separation must have porno physical effect on the milk. Investigations to discover the cause of this change were in train. One of the effects of tills change was that cheese made from separated or partly separated milk did not cheddar in the same way as did the article made from full-cream milk, although when the process was not carried too far, he believed that a satisfactory cheese could be made. Two theories to account for the change were the aeration of the milk and possible metallic contamination by passage through the separator. He was not piepared to advance either as correct, however, until their authenticity had beer, established, if it ever was, by investigations now under wayMr. Veale stated that in his opinion, the violent mechanical agitation produced by high speed separation must have a damaging effect on the cheddaring properties of the curd made from such milk. If mixed with a sufficient quantity of normal 'milk, however, its effect might bo minimised or pass completely unnoticed. As an illustration of the effect of violent agitation on milk for cheese-making, Mr. Veale cited a process tried out a few years ago for ridding milk of smells and flavours. The method was to reduce the pressure on the milk so that it would boil at pasteurising temperature. The violent boiling of the milk at a low temperature so affected it that the cheese would not cheddar. The process was satisfactory for cream for butter-making, but not for milk for cheese. PERSONAL.' The Rev. C. L. Dobbs, formerly curate of St. Mary’s parish, Hawera, and Mrs. Dobbs, left for Wanganui yesterday. Mr. Dobbs preached his farewell sermon on Sunday evening. Nurses Clark, Tregoweth, Ward and McMillan, of the Hawera hospital, have passed their third year hospital examinations with high percentages, and are now entitled to the board’s final certificate of competence. OPERA HOUSE TALKIES. “DEVIL-MAY-CARE” FINALLY. Beautiful songs, a gorgeous technicolour sequence and Ramon Novarro’s golden talking and singing voice are the features of the M-G-M- musical romance, “Devil-May-Care,” which was greeted by another large audience at the Hawera Opera House last night and will be screened finally to-night, in company with an excellent supporting programme. The .story itself offers action, excitement and thorough entertainment. Novarro as Armand, a lieutenant of Napoleon’s Guard at the time when the “Little Corpoifil” was exiled to Elba,'finds himself in the throes of. adventure in escaping from Royalist officers, the fight eventually landing him in the boudoir of Leonie, the daughter of a Royalist/family. She shields him from his pursuers, but regrets her action when she • discovers who he is. Later he returns to her in the guise of a footman, from which point on there are complications, suspense and surprises galore. The box plans are at Miss Blake’s.
