Chronicle (Levin), 20 June 1946, Page 4

Australia has concurred in an Empire agreement to observe annually a singie Armistice Day eommemorating the two World Wars. Novemjer 11 will be discarded and the learest Sunday substituted. This year, the nearest Sunday -will be November 10. Bright and early the other morning an old Maori woman, wearing a , man's battered felt hat and a Dngntly coloured shawl, was seated on rhe steps of a warehouse in Customs Street, Auckland, calmly smoKing a blackened clay pipe. Two v smartly dressed laughing girls pa'ssed. Said one: "How happy that oid thing looks!" "She's enjoying her after-breakfast pipe," said the ocner. They seemed much amused. "I wonder," said the first ,"what Mnd -of tobacco she smokes — must be something speeial, I should say." "Let's go back and ask her," said her f'riend, "just for fun." So back they went and asked her. The old dame smiled, and said, "Cut Plug No. 10," adding that she always smoked it. It is one of the flvefamous toasted tobaccos: Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold, and their rare flavour and delightful fragrance appeal to pakeha and Maori alike. And they have another outi standing merit — they are eomparatively harmless! It's the toasting that eliminates the poisonous nicotine. All toasted, and no sore throat, . no cough.
