WAIPUKURAU.

(Own Correspondent),

Yesterday morning the motor bus conveying the girls to the High School at Waipawa broke down about two miles out of Waipukurau. As all efforts failed to start it again, then was nothing left for the girls to d« but get out and walk. Some went oi to Waipawa on foot, a distance of about three miles; others preferred walking back home again to Waipukurau. Considering the inclement): of the weather the walk either wa; was anything but pleasant. A quiet but interesting wedding was solemnised at St. Mary’s Chtirrk on Wednesday, the united parties being Mr W. N. Hunter and Miss Ida Green, both of Waipukurau. The bridi was given away by her father, Mr J, B. Green, and was attended by h« two nieces, Sheila Atkinson and Non Green, ns bridesmaids. Mr Alf.
