Waihi Frosts Eleven point seven degrees of frost were registered in Waihi this morning and 5.8 degrees yesterday morning. Output Well Maintained

Output of beef in both Australia and New Zealand has been well maintained in the post-war years, but in North America, where livestock numbers declined until 1949, production has fallen accordingly. Although there has been a large measure of recovery in European livestock numbers, wartime losses have not been made good; meat production in Europe was still, therefore, by 1948 below the pre-war level. Interest In Health Stamps

Already many large orders for the 1950-51 health stamps are being received from overseas, particularly from England, where much publicity has been give to the stamps in some of the leading daily newspapers. The stamps bearing a picture of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Charles are most attractive. The Ihd stamps are in green and the 3d stamps in cyclamen. Handicapped Children

A meeting to form a branch of the Intellectually Handicapped Children’s Parents’ Association is to be held at the Winter Garden, Winter Show Buildings, Ward Street, Hamilton, on Monday evening at 7.45 o’clock. The aims and objects of the association are comprehensive and include the promotion of the physical, educational and social welfare of all intellectually handicapped children by means of parent cc operation and interest and the establishment of suitable schools, hostels and occuaption centres where children may receive the benefit of training and companionship. The forming of a branch of the association in the district would appear to be a common-sense and praiseworthy approach to a somewhat difficult problem and well worthy of support. Further particulars are advertised.
