The Tourist Department doesn't always, keep its information handy. When speaking at the Anglican Synod in Christcbx-rcb about Samuel Marsden and the Bay of Islands, where he worked, Canon Purchas raised a laugh by stating that when he went to the Tourist Department's office to ascertain the best means of getting to the Bay of Islands, the reply he received was: "Where is the Bay of Islands?" At a meeting of tbe Awaroa Bowling Club held last night it was reported that Mr Jno. McLeod had promised to do the plumbing work free on the pro-, pavilion and Mr Hopmeiyer would supply and plant flowers round the bowling green. Membera spoke in high terms of appreciation of their generous action in thus assisting" the Club.
