THE Hauraki Plains Gazette With which is incorporated THE OHINEMURI GAZETTE. Motto: Public Service. MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, & FRIDAY. FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1929. LOCAL AND GENERAL
Monday being a public holiday on the occasion of His Majesty King George V’s. birthday, the “Hauraki Plains Gazette” will mot be published on that day. Provided that Saturday, June 8, is officially declared to be Paeroa’s first late Saturday shopping day, there will be a special edition of this paper on Wednesday. Mr A. M. Samuel, M.P., has advised His Worship the Mayor that the Hon. W. B. Taverner, Minister of Railways, will not be able to visit Paeroa tomorrow, as was previously arranged. He will in all probability make the proposed journey during the course of next week, the date and time to be arranged later. On Wednesday evening the drain at Cadman’s Road level crossing, near - Mangaiti, claimed another temporary occupant. A two-seater motor-car went off the road at this death trap and upset in the drain; Fortunately no one was seriously injured, and the car, with assistance, was soon put on the road again. It would seem as though the level-crossing is well on the way to establish a record as to accidents for the Dominion. The annual Foreign Mission meeting will be held in the Paeroa Methodist Church on Tuesday, June 14, at 7.30 p.m. Deputation : Rev. J. F. Goldie and two Solomon Islanders. Collection.* Owing to Monday being a holiday, the next meeting of the Paeroa Rugby Union will be held on Tuesday, at 7.30 p.m. Two men working at a height of 100 feet on the Patea water tower had the supporting plank suddenly withdrawn from under them, and a fatal accident almost resulted (relates the “Taranaki News”). The drum of the winch broke, and the plank fell 100 ft to the ground. Fortunately one end went first, enabling one to grasp the stay rods and eventually descend the spiral ladder, badly shaken, but only slightly bruised. His companion, however, fell forty feet before managing to grasp the rods, and was considerably bruised when he reached the ground. It is not generally known, perhaps, that every compound, such as tonics and" tablets containing arsenic or strychnine and wherein the active principle of such poison is retained, must not be sold unless the word “poison” appears on the packet or bottle containing the substance. The Health Department points out that it is the duty of everyone selling such goods to inquire from the manufacturer as to the possibility of their being affected by the Poisons Act. Neglect of this precaution may lead to prosecution.
