A stray cat got into an awkward situation in a Hawera boarding-house yesterday. It wandered inside and into a room where there was a grate. The chimney looked inviting so the cat climbed up, accidentally knocking the flap at the bottom of the chimney. Imprisoned thus the cat uttered shrill calls for help, much to the surprise of the staff, who engaged the help of a passer-by to remove the animal.

Dogs Disturb Office. The serenity of a Hawera office was rudely disturbed last evening by conflict between a large Alsatian and a smaller dog of the collie type. The staff gave up its labours to interfere ,but the owners of the respective animals had separated them unaided. The only noticeable result was a large tuft of black hair on the floor.
