The final of the junior cricket championship between T.C.O.B. A, winners the Napier seetion, and Tomoana, winners of the Hastings seetion, _ will commence at Cornwall Park, Hastings, to-morrow. In the neighbourhood of Ito, a village in the Shizouka prefecture, earthquakes have been almost continuous since the middle of February. The 15,000 inhabitants are" mostly camping or otherwise prepared to escape. The amount allotted to tbe Wairoa district for collection in connection with the Mothers Chair appeal was £75 and this amount was exceeded, a cheque for £80 having been posted to Mrs Lowry by the Wairoa secretary, Mrs J. Ross. A message from Victoria, Canada, states that an official of the Department of Agriculture announced that a shipment of Australian apples and peays ex the Aorangi was badly infected hvith codlin moth. On arrival at Vahcouver the infected 'fruit was destroyed. The annual conference of the IVftmawatu and - Hawke's Bay Methodist Church Men's Bib'le Classes will this year be held at tlie showgrounds, Dannevirke, during Easter. Preparations are in liand for accommodating from 150 to 200 members. Apart from the business sessxons, a big sports gathering has been arrranged for Easter Saturday. Aggressive development of Australian and New Zealand markets was urged at the annual meeting of the British Columbia division of _ tlie Canadian Manufacturers' Association on Wednesday night, foliowing the, report of the trade mission which reeently returned from those countries. The delegation leaves immediately for Ottawa to pre'ss upon the Bominion Government the reduction and expansion of the treaty. Tenders have been aceepted by the Hawke's Bay Rivers Board for the lease of its various reserves for 'a period of five years as follow: — Lot 1, 8ac. lr. 16p., Pakowhai, Waterhouse Bros. ; lot 2, Pakowhai, undeeided ; lot 3, 137ac. lr. 21p., Roy's Hill, R. .A.

It is stated on the authority of the Canterbury division of the Reform League that tlie report m the Press Association message from Wellington that Mr C. P. Agar had been appointec! chairman. of the new provincial council and Mr S. R. Evison honorary secretary is incorreet, The facts are. that a meeting qf the party supporters , held last week decided to mako arrangements for tlie setting up of a new provincial council. The work is proceeding, and it is hoped to call the new council TOgether at the end of the month, wlien the electian of oflicers will be held. The aerial pageant which was to be held in Gisborne on Thursday, April 10, has been unavoidably abandoned. Owing to the inability of the Director of Air Services, Wing-Commander Grant Dalton, to be present on April 10, the pageant could not take place on that date, and the decision not to hold the function this season was made in view of the uncertainty of the weather at any later date. In connection with the expected visit of Mr F. C. Chichester to Gisborne on April 10, Captain White has informed the Gisborne branch of the Hawke's Bay Aero Club that Mr Chichester had advised him that he could not be relied upon to reach that district on that date. It was hoped, however, that two of the Hawke's Bay club's machines would be able to visit Gisborne on April 10 to give an exhibition of aerobatics and to give passenger flights. In view of the fact that, with the opening of the new road from Waikaremoana to Rotorua througlr the Hiwera, there will shortly be mucli more tourist traffic through Wairoa, a committee has been formed there to finance and . control the motorists' camping ground. At the last meeting ^'the committee the secretary reported fffat over £42 had been collected and: after paying for certain work that had already ' been done, sufficient funds wei-e in hand to erect a small kitchen. Mr Bert Wilson was asked to nndertake its erection. a working-bee _ of members of the committee to assist. Mr W. Clark has promised to give all the metal reqnired for eoncreting, etc., and Mr C. R Sainsbury has donated a pair of gates. * The entrance' is to be metalled and the Borough Council is to be 'asked to erect electric lights for the small building and also at tlie entrance to the grounds, Mr S. M. Ashburn has very lcindlv re-donated theR11111 of £5 paid to him by the H.B. A.A. for sign-posts and lettering of same Speaking at the band concert in the Mnnicinal Theatre last night, Mr J. W. Callaghan. chairman of the Citizens' Band Committee, said that the obstacles preventing the hand from _becoming a successful musical organisatiin had been ovevcome and tlie band in its present state would soon. it was hoped. be able snccessfulv to compete with the hest bands in the Dorainion. In mentioning the principal obstacles formerly preventing the band from becoming a more successful organisation, tlie spealcer stated that prominent amongst these were the lack of a permanent baitdroom. the necessity of having to practise with old and leaky instruments, and tlie lack of public sympathy and appreciation. Until soxno time ago, when coneerts were organised and funds collected for the building of Choral Hall, wareliouses, a spare room in the Municipal Baths and even a stable bad been used for practice purposes. The late Captain Tuclt was tbe organiser of tbe .coneerts and his work in tliat direction and in many other ways had been of inestimable value to' the band.

The annual meeting of the Napier Amateur Operatie Society will be hqld in the Chamber of Commerce Rooms, Parker's Buildings, on Monday, April 7, at 7.30 p.nx. All members and intending mem'bers are invited to be present. New Zealand' s scenic beanties are becoming very well known abroad, and! that is evidenced by letters receivedt by the Minister in charge of .thej Tourist Department, the Hqn. P. A* de la Pereile. Last mail many inqniries came to hand from prospect tive Visitors from Hong Kong, Japan and British North Borneo as to the conditions of travel and sport in New Zealand. The man pei-manently employed on railway construction are noted for their loyalty to one another, and a, strildng instance of goodwill is afforded by the case of a man who some time ago was injured "off the job" at a eamp on the East Coast line. He slipped over a cliff while 011 a fishing expedition, and suffered' severe injuries, which have kept him in hospital ever sinee, the hardship of liis lot having been lightened to a considerable extent by contributions from his workmates. Periodically a snbscription list goes round the camp, and the donations from individual workers are not limited to the nimble sliilling ; in fact, 10 times that amounfi is not an unusual contribution, At a meeting of the Auckland' Lifer ,Spving Society the president, Dr. Pettit, the secretary, Mr P. Sfewarty ancl the assist'airt secretaiy, Mr P. Gilehrist, lesigned and other prominent officials are expeeted to follow suit as the result of a resolution being carried to promote an art union. Dr.' Pettit had previoxrsly made it perfectly clear. that he would consider it as a motion of want of confidence and said that if it was carried he would have no other course than to resign. After the officials named had left the meeting delegates were asked ta appoinfi a convener to call. a meeting to replaca them. No oue was prepared to act.j As the matter stands the banking account cannot be operated upon and, 110 diplomas can be issued. i A motor aceident which might- have' been very serious oceurred near the road-man's whare at Mahia, when ai big car containing 13 people in all (6 adults and 7 children), and driven byiMr Peter Te Ngaio, rau off the road, ,and turned over three times hefore itf was' brought up by a fence. The car ffually came to' rest suspended by a post and this enabled the passengers, to crawl out from underneath. The occnpants considered they had a wonderful escape. Mr Eru Te Ngaio tookNurse Bennett out to the seene of the aceident, but although all were considerably shaken, There was apparentlv nothing more serious than seratches and bruisers. Mr Peter NgaiP is a very steady chiver, but said tliat the littie girl next to him had her foot on the selfstarter and he stooped down to take it off and the next thiiighe knew was that they were over the bank. The hood was completely smashed, but assistance was requisitoned and the car was hauled up on the roadagain, and driven to Nuhaka under its own power. The adults in the car were Mr ond Mrs Ora, Mrs Punga, Mrs Willia Ormand, and the driver, Mr Peter Te Ngaio. The Tikokino Sports Committee is . working very hard to make their forthcoming sports meeting to be held on Easter Saturday, not only a record for the clu'b, hut one of the best sports meetings ever held in Hawke's Bay. The track hoth for the rnnning and horse events is being put in tlie bestj of order and all the other _ details are in the hands of a very aetive committee who are sparing no effort to maka tlie affair a Iiuge success," With past experience to guicle them there is no doubt the club will put on a very fine meeting indeed. Judging by enquiries whieti have been made from outside the district, record nominations may ba looked for in all branehes of the sports. Tlie Napier Citizens' Band will 'be present, and a first-class musical programme will he presented. Intending eompetitors are requested to note thafi entries for the athletic, chopping and sawing events and th© open jumping, maiden jump, ladies' jumping competition, pony jumping and jumping competition, for horses that have_ never won more than two open jumping events at A. and P. shows, will all close with the honorary secretary, Mr V. Barton, on Saturday, April 12, afi 8 p.m. Mepfion was made in the Telegraph. reeently of instances where ^etters had made very roundabout journeya through heing insufficiently addressed.; A remarkable example has just comei to light in Wanganui. When a Wanganui resident was working at Aberfeldy, which is 22 miles west of Wanganui, a letter was addressed to himw There must have heen a new hand on duty, and a Scotsman at that, for the letter was sent to; Aberfeldy, Scotland. It was posted in Wanganui on' Angust 1, 1929, and it reached the .Perthshire Aberfeldy on September 13. Marked by the postmaster, 'JNofi Aberfeldy, Scotland,'( it was next sent; to Victoria, Australia, where it arrived on October 30. As the Victoria; pcstal people could not locate the addressee, the letter was returned to! Wanganui, arriving there on November 13, but even then it did not gefi t>, its destination as soon as mighfi have heen expeeted, though this time the post office had no share in the delay. It was l'.anded to a lorry diiveif ti deliver, and he put it under the seat for safety, but unfortunately forgot all about it for two monthsWllen at last the letter, over fivel ironths old, was handed to the man it was intended for, it had so many postmarks, re-addressings, and so on, and was so dirty and greasy, that the address took some deciphering. A few days ago we were diseussing the misfortune or ill-luck which causea many an honest businessman^ to seek the protection of the law in bankruptcy. This misfortune, like many others, while bearing heavily on some,' brings in its train benefits, something to gain.

_ An tmiisually heavy swell was runiimL* y,u tlie Bay tliis morning, and the red flags were flying to indxeate the Qanger bathers would run m entei'ing the surf. & The Main Highways Board nas agreed to the paving of the Auckland- \\ elhngton mam highway in the Manawatu county between Foxton and Eumitangi. _ This section was recently re-formed in preparation for paving, and tenders will shortly. he ealled for the work. . The dance cominittee of the N.T.O.O.B. Cricket Club wish to notify all jatrons of their dance to he held at the nsual hall to-morrow evening at -30. The last two dances held by the club proved verv successful and all attending can be assured of a splendid evening' s enjoyment. There was a fairly regular hum of aeroplanes over Napier this morning, many of the machines taking part in the aerial visits to the town. About lunch time a party of four passed over together. The machines created much interest in Napier, but as the day wore on the novelty paled, and, except for the school children, few people took much notice. Footballers who practice on McLean Park in the afterno'on and evening are put to considerable inconvenience througli the fact tliat all the gates giving entrance to the park are Iqcked. Yesterday afternoon over 00 bicycles were lined up along the roadside, left there by players wlio could not taka tliem lnside the groinid. "There is a great hani there for a sneak thief," said one gentleman in commenting on the matter to a pressman. The action of the Alliance of Labour in declaring "black" the committee which is investigating the Workers Compensation Act is not endorsed by trades umons in Christchurch. The union seeretaries say they ai'e not satisfied with the personnel of the committee, but they consider such extreme actioxi as a boycott is not justified. Mr E. C. Sutcliife, secretary of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joxners, refei'nng to the decision, said, "Tiie men responsible tor tliis decisxon have no thoughts beyond personal aggrandisement. This selfish attitude is to be dceplv deplored. It is my opinion that beyond Wellingto, axid, perhaps, Auckland, the edict of the alliance will be ignored entirely." Other union seeretaries gave opinxoxxs less emphatic, but they were in agreement that a boycott could do no good and they were not in favour of it. , ^ ^Campbell McDonald, a labourer, aged 37, appeared at the Napier Police Court this morning eharged with being drunk on April 3, in Collins street, axxd committing breaches of his proliibition order oxx March 14 axxd 21, and April 1 and 3. Sergeant Cooper said that the

mau was prohxbxted on March 13 axid was under the influence the vexy next day. Ever since the order had been made the man had been more or less drunk. Accused, wlxo pleaded guilty, said that he could not account for his being drunk "tlie day after he was prohibited. He was not exaotly drxxxxk, he said. The Magistrate, Mr A. M. Mowlem, said that he did not make prohfbition orders for tlxe fun of it. Proliibition orders were niade to be obeyed and for a man to brealc his order four times in one nxonth demanded a penalty. For being drunk accused was sentenced to 14 da.vs' imprisonment, this beixxg his third oifence within six months. On the charges of breaches of his prohibition order he was fined £2, in default one month's imprisonment in x-espect to eacli of the first two breaches and £3, in default two month's, in respect to each of the others.

At the mohthly meeting of the Executive of the Napier Returned Soldiers' Association held last evening, arrangements were dieccussed for the holding of the tliree most impoitant functions in connection with the association's activities, namely, "Poppy Day/1 the annual re-union and Anzac Day comxnemoration seiwice. It was decided to lxold "Poppv Day" oxi Thursday, April 24. and the re-union on the evening of that day. As Anzac Day follows it is lioped that exservxcemexi in the couutry will take advantage of the occasion to- join in the re-nnion and stop over for the parade on Anzac Day. The president, Mr J. Mason, reported tliat the poppies had already arrived from England, wliere they are made solely by ex-serviccmexi's lahour, axid asked mexnhers to give hira the naxnes of any ladies wlxo woukl be willixig to help with the selling and assist to make this the most successful "Poppy Day" in the association's lxistoxy. From iridications. that were unfortunately only too clear, it was apparent- tliat unemployment was going to he a huge problem this coming Winter, and the bigger suceess they could make of 1 'Poppy Day" the larger woukl he the fuuds they would have available for wages for special works. - Committess were set up to deal with matters incideutal to the three fuiictions mentioned.
