Sciascia, Carmont, De Castro, Juno, Saunders and Ryder:. No Paper fqr Three Days In-past years "The Chronicle" has not been .published on Go.od Friday or Easter Monday. This year, however, there will be no paper on these,. two day&- or on Easter Saturday. The imposition of power cuts from 9.30 to 11 a.m. and from 2 to 4 p.m. are at peak hours, and are of such.a duratjon that it would be impossible to pubUsh a paper in the inpae available. Easter Eggs Easter eggs m\l be mostly cardboard this yeaf, as the hollow chocolate variety have* not ' yet' recovered from, Tfcheir war-time secback. From the attractive window displays of most Levin shops, it is apparent that although the necessary materials are limited, the spirit is still there. Hot -cross buns will be yet another necessity of Easter which will be available to only a favoured few, On Probation At Tuesday's sitting of the Snpreme Court in Wellington Hing Chee, market gardener, of Manakau, who, pleaded- guiity in the Magistrate's. Court, Otaki, to , a charge of obtai'ning ihopey under false pretences, was rejeased on probation for ' three years and ordered to pay £12 costs. Terms of restitution are to he arranged later. Hls Honour imposed a condihon that during the period of probation Chee shall refrain from gambling and attending racp meetings. ^ •

Party by Headlamps . A more or iess. general return -tp fche lights of the past, in candles and oil larops,, has been a feature of the evenings in Auckland homes since the introduction o.f the electricity cuts. At one home in Remuera the other night, however, the difficnlty was surmounted without reversion to. old-tiuie illumination. %' par'ty had been arranged, and it "was held, confcinuing to well past midnight. Two rnotor cars posted outside the windows of the assembly rooms had fhefr headlights switohed on and focused to. provide the necessary light. Danger Money in Honey During a di.scussion on wagelevels o.f workers in the honey Industry, at "a meeting of the Manav/atu Branch of the New Zealand Reekeepers' • Association it was suggested that as statistics showed that each worker in the hives. received an average of 10Q stings per day, the same attitude as that of the Waterside Workers' Unions should be ado.pt.ed and the public asked to. pay, by increases ip the price of honey, "danger money" for the workers. "We may become immune to the swelling but they still sting," said one member amid laughter. Woman Loses £2Q0 A heavy loss was snffered by Mrs. Whitniore, of 4 Valley- Road, Mount Eden, a traveller on the Limited express from Palmerston North to Auckland Ypn sunday night . \vhen she left her bandbog oontaining £390, on a seat on the Palmerston Nort,h railway station, says the Manawatu standard. Mrs. Whitmore did not- notice her loss until the train was well on its jonrney. She immediately notiiied the guard who sent a message hack 'to Palmerston North from Feilding. Railway ofheials at Palmerston North failed to locate the losf handbag, and the, police were informed without delay.
