After spending 18 months on Norfpllc Island, Mr R. A. Eox Rogers, formerly of Hastings, camet'o the conclusion that the Summer climate was too enervating. On his return to Auckland, Mr Rogers said that he had gone tt> Norfolk With the intentiofi of going faito partnership with his brother on a banana plantation. The Winter and Spring months were excellent, but the Summer left him so sapped of energy that he decided he could not stay there. However, for those who are equal to the climate, Norfolk is a wonderful : place, he says. The soil is fertile, though the time is rapidly approaching, when owners of the land will need to topdress if they are to produce big crops. Mr Rogers' brother leases 30 acres of land at a rental of £10 10s a year. It is impossible to ohtain Government land nowadays, and it is difficult to buy freehold property., The problem qf what to send to overseas friends this Christmas is solved if you send your photograph — the gift that only you can give.

Tbe New Zealand Shipping Compa?jy advises that tbe Raugitiki arrived at Auckland at noon yesterday. Passengers for Napier proceeded per tJie ~-40 p.m. train. A most enjoyable and exciting liour and_ a balf was spent by a large i»udience at T. H. Boston's premises in Emerson street, Napier, when ihe description of the Donovan-Doble figbt was broadcast from 2YA and picked up On a seven valve Pierce-Airo all electric set. Tbrougbout tbe contest the volume was wonderfulfy clear. Not a single word of the announcer was lost and tlie progress was followed punch for punc-b throughout the whole contest.* The propbets, whose word Christ endorsed, have, as instruments of God, revealed the uprise and destiny of nations. God directs the operations of nations in accord with his purpose to select from ainong them a community to whom, along with Christ, supreme authority will be given in the earth during the future age. The unfolding of the events predicted and their significance is designed to draw attention to and prepare men and women for that great day. Tlie special mission of Britain, and her destiny as marked out in the Bible. will form the subject of an address to be given (God willmg) in the Foresters' Hall, Napier, on Sunday at 3 p.m. In view of the great-' suceess wliich attended the recent auction sale of portions of the. well known Maraekakaho estate, the trustees of the late Sir R. D. D. McLean have decided to place the balance_ of the estate in the market in the coming Autumn, subject to the weather conditions proving favourable in the meantime. The area available comprises about 10,000 acres and the Burveyors are at present engaged in the suhdivision of same into suitable farming hlocks. Plans and full particulars will be available later. An auction clearing sale of the stock and plant will be held at about the same time, so as to enable purchasers of the land to obtain their requirements. Remarlcing on the fact that many people persist in walking up or down Shakespeare road on the acrtual xoadway despite the fact that a footpath is provided for their benefit on the opposite side of the road was commented upon by a motorist in conversation with a pressman this morning. He pointed out the danger of this practice even in thd daylight hours with the narrowness of the roadway and the amount of space taken up by the tramway tracks and then went on to remark that some people were foolish enough to carry out the practice in the night hours. It is difficult to understand the psychology of the individual who walks in the road when a footpath has been provided for his benefit. Annouhced elsewhere in this issue is a musical . recital on somewhat new lines, to he given oii"Novemher 19 hy some of the students of Madame E. O. Lehmann and Madame Aileen Johns.

A rnotion, of which notice had been given at last meeting, giving a subscriber the right to beSpeak & hook on the payment of threepence, was discussed and finally carried. Mr Jackson gave a very satisfactory report re unreturned books. The committee then arranged details in connectiott .with the entertainment to he given hy tlie Napier Frivolity Minstrels in aid Of the library funds.

Plans have been prepared by the Hawke's Bay County Council for concrete bridges on tlie Wharerangi road near the Parke Island turn-off, where the old timber bridges are showing signs of decay. A marriage lias been arranged to take place in tne chueh of St. Francls, in the city of Melhourne, on Thursday, November 7, between Miss Rencee Olive Aileen Kirby, daugliter of Mrs T. Cullen, of Hastings and Mr Darrington Boyle son of Mr and Mrs H. J. Boyle, of Sydney. Concrete kerbing has been placed over the stormwater channel on the footpath outside the Trinity Methodist Church in Clive Square, 011 the lines of the work done las^ year outside the Catholic Cliurch in Munro street. The provision of the slahbing has made the conditions much better for those using the loeality. A small creek just nortli of the Tangoio Post Office on the Napier-Wairoa road has been tbe subject of complaint by motorists for some time, as the water has been evoding tbe road. However, the Hawke's Bay County Council has now cut hack the road and built an embankment to divert the stream so that the highway is now safer for car owneis. Much interest has been aroused in crieket circles by the announcement fiom Palmerston North tbat Manawatu does not desire to be called upon during the holiday periocl to delend the Hawke Cup. Tlie New Zealand Crieket Council has dc-reed that tlie holders must he prepared .to defend "he cup when called on, but no news has been received as to whether or not Manawatu bas agreecl to plav Hawke s Bay 011 tlre suggested dates, November 19 and 20Brilliant sunshine experienced in Napier yesterday morning inspired the hope amongst sportsmen that conditions would he ideal for outdoor spbrt during the week-end. However, rain fell during tlie afternoon ancl again in the course of the night and this morning it was found tliat playing areas were well sodclen. It "was announced this morning that there would be no crieket this afternoon and tennis devotees had to content tliemselves with play on hard courtsl There were animated scenes in a Napier auction room this morning, when a huge quantity of tohacco, cigarettes, cigars and other tohacconist's stock was offered in small lots to the liig'hest bidder. The sale was to dispose of the stock involved in a recent fire in Hastings street, and several score of Napier devotees of the fragrant weed gathered to lav in a stock at eheap rates. Wowen constituted quite a fair proportion of the buyers, purehasing cigarettes and shampoos and toilet preparations. The eopipetition was of the keenest, prices being 011 the average about two-tbirds of the normal shop price. -Reports from Taupo say that there was a great gathering of anglei-s. including mauy from Napier and Hastings, for tlie opening of the trout-fisli-ing season yesterday. The weather was sliowery and there were light winds, but some good catches were made. The trolling launches we'e busy, hauls ranging from 12 to 49 fisli. I\Iost of the launches made two trips out, oue in the early morning and oue after breakfast. Fish ranged in weight, the best being about 7£lb, but the general opinion of anglers was that the fish taken were not in as good condition as those taken at the opening or last season. Modern methods o-f using derelict motor car tyres are many and various. Not so many years ago the tyres were allowed^to rot and fall to dec^iv on ruhbish1' lieaps, where, incidentally, they formed an ideal breeding place for the pestilential mosquito, but it was not long hefore dwellers in the eountry district discovered that sections cut from the side of a tyre would serve admirahly as boot leather, or the owners of launches used for strictly utilitariau purposes found the circular ' combination of rubber and canvas made an excellent fender when hung against the side of the hoat. Not so many montlis have elapsed since old tyres were dropped over wharf piles to act as shock-ahsorliers at sea instead of on dry land, and they are to he seen doing. good service on the waterfront of Port Ahuriri. The latest manifestation of tyre utility is for use as a garden fenee, a row painted white being looped together by strong wire and staked round the demesne of a stiburban resident. It tnay be recalled that a London firm inaugurated the method hy which the rubher from old tyres was devuleanised and then remade as erepe ruhber for shoe soles. A well-known London newspaper immediately appeared with tlie headline, "Tyred Feet."
