A call received on Saturday afternoon suimnoned the Napier Fire Brigade to the Municipal destructor, where it was diseovered that a pile of burning rabbish had set alight to a wooden door close by. No difficulty was met in putting tlie flames out. James Junk, aged 63, charged with iudecently exposfcg hiniself to tlie public at'Parke Island, pleaded guilty hefore Mr A. M.

On Fi'iday last the memhers of ihe Hastings Rotary Clnb gathered at the Parke Island Home with a fleet of oars and took the inmates for an outmg. The Rotarians entertained the old folk at a first-class dinner and a veiT enioyahle concert in the Hastings Municipal Hall. Each _ of the guests was presented with a tin of choice tobacco, and toasts were drunk. Tlie drive round the countvy in the bright sunshine proved most delightful, and it was pleasing to note the willingness of the drivers to pull up so as to allow some old man a chat at a chance nieeting with sjn old friend. The lot of the' ti'affic inspector is not always the most pleasant or the easiest in the world, and here, as well as in most walks of life, a sense of humonr is a mo-st helpful asset. An example of this was given on Sat.urday when a youth, witll graye countenance, requested a drivmg license from the traffic inspector at the Napier City Council. Accordingly arrangements were made for a trial run with the inspector, whereupon the youth, with it auytliing a more senous face, request•ed a license for a grave plot. DoubtJess the inspector would have heen relieved of some possible anxiety had the latter application been held over pending the issue of the trial run. Major G. A. C. Cowper, .of Western Federation Airways, made the first landing at Wanganui' s airport yesterday afternoon. To mark what was really the official opening of the j»ort he was welcomed by the Mayor, Mr Rogers and representatives of the Wanganui Aero Club. It was a perfeet landing and au equally perfeet take off. Wanganui will be a port of call of a daily service between New Plymoutli and Wellington. Mr Burgess, president of the Aero Club, announced that the club had £100 available for tbe unemployed relief. Provided that a £200 subsidy can be obtained from the Unemployinent Board, the amount would he spent on the new port within six weeks. — Press Association. Although Hitler was very much in tbe news and was a widely-discussed figure in Germany, England aud the Continent generally, Professor J. Mac-millan-Browii, of Christchurch, who returned by the Rotorua^ yesterday from a visit to those countries, was not inclined to the belief tliat "Hitlerism" would score much of a success. "My own impression," he said, "is that it is only a passing phase in Germany." Hitler was not a Gennan, he explained, and the next elections, when they eventuated. would probably _ see Hitler's stock falling fairly considerably% He seemed to he imitating Mussolini, and Professor !Macmillaii-Brown did not think that he wonld go very far in the transformation of the life of the country.

The beautiful weather of Saturday was followed by more perfeet cohditions yest-erday, and as a' result there was a general trend towards the country, popular piaiio - places being well. attended. To-day the same real Summer weather coutinued and being a bank holiday thera were again a large ntnnber of cars headed for the oool riverside areas 0 away from the town.

The IVIaritte Parade, Napier, was tlu'onged tliroagh&ut the day with batliers 01* people basking iu the warm sunshine. Westshore was also a great attraction, boating and bathing parties being numerous. All the other holiday resorts, including Te Awa, Clifton, "Dartmoor and Waimarama, had their fair share of people "making a day of it." Gn Saturday night next the Napier Operatie Society will open their four nights' season of "Our Miss Gibbs" at the Municipal Theatre, and people will he well advised to make their arrangements now and decide on what niglit they intend to set apart for a "night out," a night crammed full of sidesplitting comedy, and a night to be remembered with joy for many ^months to come. Theatre parties are just th'e rage nowadays ; and people are recommended to make up their parties, either for the galleiy, stalls or circle. One thing is certain and that is, tliere will be 110 regrets.

On Saturday afternoon 20 eiithusiasti' members of the new-fonned Napier Aero Club stnrted work on the first runway, and as a result cleared a spaee of 400 vards by four chains of all tussock.

November weather proved to be composed chiefly of windy days, with an occasional shower at tne week-end, and a dry month was the result, Rain fell on onlv eight days during the month, the beaviest fall being on November 26th, when .65 incheg fell. The total rainfall was 1.39 inches, which is much below the average for this month. A'cold snap on the 24th and 29th made matters verv uncomfortable fqr the farming eoirmunity, and frosts did much damage to gardens in the eountry districts. The rainfall for tlie _ 11 months just ended has totalled 25.89 inches. 'This is below the usual average for tlie year and several inches aie needed this month if the pastures are to stand up to the Summer keat that is usually experienced at the beginmng of the year. Packed througliout the day and evening on vSaturday, the "Bobby Jones" miniature golf course in the wew Post Office building, again proved an irresistible magnet for those ivlio enjoy this new and wonderfully popular game. A series_ of new and very interesting competitions in connection with tlie '"Bobby Jones" miniature golf course, was inaugurated on Saturday. First, second and third prizes of £3, £1 10s and 15s respeetively are offered weekly for the best tliree Bcores made during tlie week by lady players, and three prizes of similar amo'unts for the three best scores made by gentlemeu players. No entrance 'fee is charged for tbese competitions ; all players at tlie "Bobhy Jones" course are entitled to partici-pat-e in the competitions, and to a chance of winning a prize. The competitions commenced on Saturday, and a number of very good cards were handed in. The hest scores made during each day ancl evening's pla'y will he posted up at the "Bobby Jones" course the following evening as a guidance for players. Each player will thus be kept iu toucli from time to time with tlie best scores wbich have Blrearly been made during the week, and so be able to compare their own scores with these. No admission fee js charged for those wlio desire to rejnain merely as spectators, the onlv charge being for the game, for whicli sticks and balls are provided. The ''Bobbv Jones" course is open from 10 a.in. to midnight daily. The sight of a fully-grown man in the niiddle forties standing in the cpntre of one of Napier' s busv sfreets and throwing stones as hard as he could j i the direction of the Napier Police Station created not a little interest this tnorning, especially among the juvemle ^fftion of tlie pommunity, ivho stood /jpen-mouthed and awaited developritcuts. At first sight ifc appeared posmIjJo that the man, overcome by tlie bcinted arrival of the Summer weather, had uneaitlied an imagiued grudge ai.minst the arm nf the law and was ventmg bis furv in this manner with tlie aid of stones whicli he removed from tlie debris on the site of the deiuolifihed New Zealand Expreys Compiny's building.
