Horowhenua Chronicle, 6 March 1915, Page 3

A Shannon settler was astonished one day this week by the arrival on his iarni of a boy wearing two coats. One was in the customary position for wear; tue other where tlio trousers should uare been, but were not. The extra coat hlled their place. As a mattjr of fact tho trousers had been left for safety in the Boys' Training Farm, it being the manager's wise custom to emove from tho bedrooms the lads nether garments every night. This discourages the matutinal excursions amongst newly-committed pupils :>( nomadic instincts. Tho Shannon f'.triner kindly notified the farm authorities, and in the afternoon the lad had his trousers restored to him, his extra ooat hung over his arm and his lower extremities in comfortable lease of proper tweed.
