SANDY'S CORNER

HOW FITS THE CAP" Into which category of three listed by the Minister of Works does the Wanganui Regional Planning Coun. il fal ? Is it good, docile, or indolent? Better take care. Bob- she might be aggressive! CAPS FOR MILK BOTTLES. It is reported that within two years Wanganui is going to heve aluminium capped milk bottles. Does that mean that milk will be bottled up like un amber liquid we know? If it is, who is going to contribute to the axerage man's “save the furniture fund" when the patent openers cant no found and sonic “expert” gets to work with a coin, on say. the top of the piano, or on Mum’s tapestry finished stool to get the top off the bottle? NEW NAME. Old names die hard. We're willing to bet that it will take a good while to obliterate the name “Kai Iwi Beach” from the vocabulary of the Wanganui generation. The Geographic Board has decided that the place is to be named “Mowhanau” in future. The board can do what it like. , the public pleases itself. In time, course, t*ic change will come about; and although the P. and 1. De.-ait-rnent has been told, we feel fairly certain that if a letter is addressed “Kai I\vi Beach" it will find its true destination. From a Maori meaning point of view, we are all in favour of the decision ut the Geographic Board. \\ hen you ask your Maori adviser the meaning of “Kai Iw i,' don't say we sent you. Go of y our own accent!
