PARAPARAUMU NOTES
"Chrohicle" Correspondent)
(From
Miss Ogilvie, of the Presbyterian j Missionary Society, gave an inter- I esting lecture in the Methodist Hall recently, when there was a very ' good attendance. Her subject was based on her experiences while a prisoner of war in Japanese hands. There have been heavy falls of rain in the district lately. and it has been very beneficial to gardens and to paddocks shut up for hay making. On Sunday afternoon a sudden hail storm struck the district after a morning of brilliant sunshine. The total unexpectedness of the storm caught many holiday-makers without their coats. In a few minutes hail lay thick on the ground, piling up in heaps besides buildings. This was followed by very heavy rain and further hail storms in the night. Next morning the ground was thickly coated with a layer of hail, while the hills in the vicinity were white. Motprists coming through from Paramata in the afternoon said that yach'ts caught in the harbour by the squall were being- capsized before the crews could reach the shore.
