The local school celebrated Arbor Day on Friday afternoon, when a number of parents and others were present. Several native trees were planted by the children. Unfortunately, two trees, which had been sent from the Education Board, in commemoration of the King’s Jubilee had not arrived, but these will be planted later. Afternoon tea was served in the schoolroom and at a suitable juncture, the chairman of the school committee, Air. W. E. Boshier, addressed those present on the aims and objects of Arbor Day. GENERAL NEWS. Alisses T. and A. Kreger have returned from a holiday spent in the Hawke’s Bay district. The “wind-up” evening of the ping pong was held on Tuesday evening, when there was a fair attendance of players, present. Very wintry weather was experienced throughout the district during the early part of last week. Although members of the Ski-Club welcome the falls of snow, they are not welcomed by sheep-farmers, during lambing season. Fortunately there was not so great a mortality as there was caused by a fall of snow about the same time last year.
