The Governor-General’s motor car was not the only one that had to run the gauntlet of pickets at Hastings. A Minister was passing through the town with the Mayor of Hastings on board, when the driver of the car was confronted by a picket waving a baton like an animated windmill. The car pulled up opposite the picket and the driver remarked, “Government ear," The pieket said something in reply, and the driver repeated the words, “Government car," and Without waiting for any further argument he set the cairn motion and scattered the barrier and continued on the urgent mission. Speaking as a Napier resident at the Wanganui Rotary Club, Mr Percy Peters said he wanted to thank those Who had extended such wonderful kindness to the refugees from Napier. He said that there might have been dry eyes when they left Napier, but it was when they got to Woodville, and there was tea waiting for them, there was not a dry eye in his ear. The kindness had been wonderful, and snould teach them of the great brotherly feeling between the citizens of New Zealand. In past years he had been proud of New Zealand, but in the past two weeks that had turned to love. On behalf of the citizens of the town, his family and himself he wanted to thank them for the great kindness that had been extended to them. He also paid a generous tribute to the mediae. and nursing profession for their spontaneous help.
