SUPPLEMENT CHANGES

TARANAKI DAILY NEWS SPECIAL FEATURE FOR WOMEN. THE STORY OF NEW PLYMOUTH. In this morning’s issue readers will note a change in the form of the supplement that accompanies each Saturday’s issue of the Taranaki Daily News. The principal alteration is a special women’s feature page presented in the most modern newspaper style and incorporating illustrations depicting today’s Sydney fashion styles. This feature page is written and • compiled by several of the leading fashion writers in Sydney, London and Paris, and is designed with the express purpose of adapting the latest styles and vogues to New Zealand conditions. The other usual Saturday features have been dressed more attractively by the addition of pictorial headings. The order of pages has also been amended with the object Of effecting further improvement. The women’s pages have been brought forward to the front of the supplement, and the two children’s pages now appear facing each other instead of being divided, as before. The historical column by “Historicus” on the front page, which has been running for several years, is,being replaced by other features, the first of which, will be a series of articles dealing generally with the history of New Plymouth, and in particular with the foundation and development of the library. This story, from the p6n of’Dr. S. C. Allen, New Plymouth, is the result of , years of patient search into the files of the two New Plymouth newspapers and the papers and records in the Old Colonists’ section of the Carnegie Institute. One of the objects Of the story will be the submission of certain conclusions regarding the place Of the library and museum in the community, and definite suggestions as to a comprehensive library system involving the whole of Taranaki. The library aspect, however, is only a portion Of Dr. Allen’s story, and is clothed in a wealth of historical incident that should be both interesting and educative. The first of this series of articles will be published in next Saturday’s supplement. To effect further improvement in the service for women readers, women’s notes will in future be published daily, and in order to standardise as far as possible the position in which each of the daily features appears, the radio programmes in future will be published as often as possible on page 2, the women’s notes being kept as near as practicable to the serial story.
