A continuance telephone toll service (day and niglit), has now been_ estabIished between Wairoa and Wellington. This result was effected by the installation of a carrier cuiTent channel between Napier and Palmerston North. "This is the only distriet that can grow beef suitahle for export in tlie chilled form," declared Mr Enstace Lane, a Wairoa farmer, when speaking to the Napier Ghamber of Commerce yesterday on the productivity of Hawke's Bay. As a preliminary to the conference of North Island Hospital Boards to consider the question of taking over ihe Pulceora and Otaki Sanatoria from the Health Department, represeiitatives of the Hawke's Bay, Waipawa and Dannevirke Hospital Boards made an inspection of the Pukeora Sauatorium yesterday, being accompanied in tlieir rounds by tlie acting medical snperintendent, Dr. Mathieson, and tbe house manager, Mr R. Wade. Tlie inspection was made . with a view_ to determiniug the condition of the buildings at the San. Speaking at the meeting of the Napier Chamber of Commerce yesterday, Mr M. Spriggs drew attention to the fact that since the house-number-ing had been done in many parts of Napier many houses were now under a different number in the street, having what was practically a new address. He asked if it would be necessary for residents to notify the Post and Telegrapli Department of the cbanges in nnmbering for tlie compiling of the new telephone directory. The chief posfcmaster, Mr B. E. S. Brodie, replied that it was necessary for residents to notify the department of tlie new numbers. In an elimination round matcli between Poverty Bay and Waiapu to de~ termine which distriet should have the light to challenge for the Hawke Cup the Gisborne side won easily. Poverty Bay made 296, Reeves compiling 149 and Robertson, formerly of Napier, 54. Waiapu made 96 and 120, Bennett, a former Hawke's Bay Rugby representative, taking four wickets for 32 runs in the first innings. Waikato has forfeited to Taranaki and South Hawke's Bay has defaulted to Wairarapa, so that the side which wins the forthcoming Hawke's Bay-Manawatu match for the cup will then have to meet .challenges from Poverty Bay, Taranaki and Wairarapa. An unusual mishap occurred at the Oringi railway crossing a few davs ago. A heavy car driven by a lady, said to come from Napier, and accompanied by her daughter, failed to take tbe corner and in trying to straighten the car up the back part came into contact with a post. The irnpact disabled tlie ' undercarriage extensively and slewed the car right on to the railway lines, from whence the derelict was uuable to shift under its owli power. Fortuiiateiy a motorist returnmg to Dannevirke, who came upon the distressed travellers, _ was able _ to render elfective nrst-aid by jacking the car from its dangerous predicament on the rails and eventually it was brought to Dannevii'ke to undergo extensive repairs. One of the oecupants received a minor injury to a leg but cthervvise their chief auffering was due to shock and anxiety. Lieut. D. M. Allan, recently of the Hawke's Bay Aero Club, Hastings, who has been appointed to the position of chief instructor to the Auckland Aero Club, has had an interesting career. Born in Waipukurau, Mr Allan left New Zealand with his parents at an early age and his home was in the Falkland Islands for some years, although later he went to England, where he received his secondary education. When the Great War broke out he was living in Tierra del Fuego, South America, but joined up and qualified as a pilot with the Royal Naval Air Service in 1916. For some time after this he was employed in instructing in machine gunnery and aerial fighting. He operated as instructor at both Eastchurch and Hounslow. At that time Avros and Cassels were the favourite machines and Mr Allan' s experience embraced about 300 hours dual instruction, while his record to-day covers approximately 600 hours in the air. In 1919, when he returned to New Zealand, Mr Allan was engaged at sheep farming in the Hawke's Bay district and was a prominent member of the Hawke's Bay Aero Club up to the time of his present appointment. Recently he went through the reserve course at Sockburn and also completed a special course at the Hobsonville Air Base. He has been highly recommended by the Defence Department for club flying.

Siuco ihe last shipnients for tlie November sale, over a littlo over 2200 bales liavo been sliipped from Gisborne to Napier.
