The desciplined control of pedestrian traffic on Auckland’s footpaths was favourably commented upon by Mr J. W. Hayden on his return by the Mariposa from a visit to England. “London has still thq best controlled road traffic and the worst controlled footpath traffic in the' world,” he said. English people walked on whichever side of the footpath they liked and there was great congestion, he said, whereas in Auckland practically everybody obeyed the “keep to the left” rule, and there was no congestion.

A representative of this paper was invited to be present at the final rehearsal of “Turned Up” to be presented at the Princess Theatre tomorrow, Tuesday, evening, Through this farcial comedy of Mark Melford’s there runs an interesting and amusing plot, abounding in intensely interesting developments and brimful of humourous situations. The castj is a strong cne and the individual parts are ably sustained. The long and arduous rehearsing is amply rewarded bv the degree of perfection attained. The scenery is most effective and must have entailed a large amount ot work. We can safely say this is the, best production of its kind that has been staged in Hokitika for a long time. There is little fear of what promises to be a very large audience being disappointed and we/ advise all lovers of good clean sparkling humour to see it.
