Tramping Club Meets The fortnightly meeting of the Whak'atane Tramping Club on Wednesday night accepted reports of the two tramps last week-end and made arrangements for a tramp up to the Taneatua trig, around through Wainui and back across Otarawairere this Sunday. The next week-end trip is to be to the Upper Whakatane River area. This will be a twoday trip.

Rotary Story Session Rotary Club this week, instead of the usual speaker,, had an informal stcry-swapping evening that proved very entertaining to those present and would no doubt prove amusing to all the public, if full publication were possible, which it is not, so let it suffice that it was a very amusing and highly enjoyable evening. Arrangements were also finalised for the coming Rotary Forum to be held in Tauranga from July; 2 to July 4.

Young Caledonians’ Dance The Young Caledonian Society held a most successful dance in aid of the food for Britain campaign in the King Street Hall on Saturday night. The music was supplied by the Ruatoki Melody Boys with Mr P. Bowering acting as M.C. The home-made supper was really enjoyed by the patrons. A number, of competitions were run through the evening and the winners were Miss V. Bowering and Mr K. Sullivan spot foxtrot, Miss Doherty and partner, Monte Carlo, Miss J. Nateson and Mr P. Butler the £1 Monte Carlo. Approximately £7 was put in the food fund. Watch That Watch!

Do not wind your watch just before going to bed. Wait until the morning. Otherwise you may have to pay a visit to a watchmaker. This is the advice of experienced watch repairers. More often than not, it is the main spring of a watch which is affected by the winter chill. The springs are contracted by the cold. If the watch is wound tight last thing at night, while warm, the main spring is unable to contract when it cools, and breaks under the strain.
