Aiding Crippled Children. A Central Hawke’s Bay farmer gave an excellent example of practical assistance to the crippled children’s fund at Tuesday’s sale at Waipukurau, when he sent .63 ewes and four wethers to be auctioned for this charity. The ewes netted the return of 17s 9d each, while the wethers realised 21s apiece. Buyers also assisted the fund, one wether' being auctioned three times, realising over £3 altogether. The total amount raised was about £7O. Visit to Mount Egmont.
An Easter vacation party of 24 members of the Auckland Ski Club will leave next Thursday for a climbing expedition to Mount Egmont. It is the first organised party that the club has sent to Egmont. The leader will be Mr. K. Leonard. Arrangements have been made for the'party to live in the huts at Dawson Falls, and daily climbing expeditions will be made. It is not expected that any skiing will be possible, as there is very little snow on Egmont. The party will be away four days. Previous organised trips have been made to Tongariro National Park.
