Hemlock Danger . Potential danger to stock and human beings if hemlock were allowed to go unchecked was emphasised by Cr R. C. Leslie at Monday's meeting of the Whakatane County Council.. He said there was quite a bit of it out at Edgecumbe. Control measures are to be taken. A Point Of View! The door of a cottage was Cung open precisely as the town clock struck noon. A housewife, arms akimbo, shouted from the doorway at a workman who was leaning against the wall. “Come along in, Five-day Week. Seven-Day-Week’s just cooked yer lundh.” . New Radio Frequencies On Wednesday next week, September 1, new frequencies and callsigns affecting many NZBS radio stations will come into force. This means that a number of , stations will not only be broadcasting under new names but will be found in new positions on the dial, and until listeners become used to the changes a little more care will be needed in tuning in. Council Chambers Repairs Repairs to the, Whakatane County Council Chambers, damaged in the April flood, are now almost completed. The only work that remains to be done is the filling behind the retaining wall and the repairs to the shed. This will be left for a reasonable period to enable the concrete wall to mature.
