Floodlighting of Post Office
A start was made this morning with arrangements to floodlight the Gisborne Post Office, and it was learned from the chief postmaster, Mr. A. M. Robertson, that the building would be lit up from midnight on December 31 to January 7. The building also would be beflagged on a decorative scheme similar to the Coronation arrangements. The work was being carried out by the Public Works Department's workmen. -Further displays would be made during the centennial celebrations in Gisborne from October 9 to' 15 Harmful Tendencies Intelligent parents could not reflect on the present tendencies in society without feelings of alarm for thcfuture wellbeing of their children, said the principal of Wellesley College, Wellington, Mr. W.

Unfortunately education was doing very little to meet the challenge of herd influences.
