LATE LOCALS
A slight earthquake was felt at Cheviot about 330 p.m. on Tuesday. No damage was done, as the tremor was so gentle that many people out in the open air did not even feel it. A South Westland correspondent says that .the first local passenger flight from Hokitika to Okuru via Wailm and Pox Glaciers wtis made th e weeis and the time taken was two hours, Mr Jack Cron, of Haast, being tiro passenger. There 1 was a number of people to welcome him on arrival, after which several made flights over -the district. We people of this district very much appreciate Mr Nancekivell (pilot) for the service which lie has offered to us, by putting bis plane at dur disposal, in our isolated district at any time whatsoever. Quite a. number of. tripjs is expected to and from our district by plane in the future owing to the journey which used to take three or four days being reduced to a two hour trip, and the price being most'.attractive. In case . ;of serious illness this service moans a considerable amount to us.
