Barker, Rai Valley, Marlborough, who has been appointed secretary of the Kaponga Co-operative Dairy Company, was a few years ago a well-known cricketer, playing for Poverty Bay, Hawkes Bay, Wellington and Marlborough. He is also a successful rifle shot, winning the South Island championship at Nelson several years ago and at present holding the Marlborough championship belt for the second time, his previous win being in 1928. Wiremen’s Examination.

At an examination held in September by the Electrical Wiremen’s Registration Board at Hawera there were five candidates in the written test, but none passed.- In the practical test there were four candidates and three passed, Messrs. R. D. Cormack, E. H. Green and A. W. Jupp. Sunburn and Suntan.

If the fine weather at Hawera at the week-end did nothing else it stimulated the sale of sunburn lotions by chemists. Sore-backed citizens were easily in the majority yesterday, and friendships of long standing were almost wrecked by jovially misguided greetings. Manaia Band Concert.

The Manaia Municipal Band under the conductor, Mr. J. A. G. Cosgrove, gave a musical programme in the rotunda on Saturday night. METHODIST FLOWER SHOW. The Taranaki sweet pea championship will be contested at the Hawera Methodist rose and sweet pea show, which will take place at Hawera to-morrow and Thursday. The championship award carries with it a fine 20-guinea cup, and it is expected that exquisite blooms will be displayed. The committee expects a record number of entries, which will close this evening at 5.30 o’clock. The classes include cut flowers, roses, cooking, fancy work, decorative work, etc., and in conjunction with the show there will be a bazaar. WARNER BAXTER SHOWING “AS HUSBANDS GO” AT HAWERA Warner Baxter, one of the most popular male stars of the day, will show again at Hawera in “As Husbands Go,” to be presented at the Opera House to-day and to-morrow. “As Husbands Go” is a picture close to the heart of every man and woman who has tried to combine the devotion of marriage with the piquancy of romance. It projects all the comedy, the heart-warming understanding, all the untheatrical sacrifice of genuine people who honestly seek to make their lives attractive. The film is an adaptation of Rachel Crothers’ famous play. Supporting Baxter is a notable collection of stars. Helen Vinson, Warner Oland, Catherine Doncet, junr., and Frank O’Connor are only a few. The supporting programme is outstanding.
