Manawatu Herald. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9th, 1926. LOCAL AND GENERAL

Mr. and Mrs Alt'. Fraser, leave on a fortnight’s holiday visit to Dunedin this week. Mr. and Mrs J. M. Barr left Foxron by the Auckland express on Sunday for a fortnight’s holiday on Kauau Island. Miss Walker, of Xorbiton Road, returns to Foxtmi to-day from a month’s holiday visit to the South Island.

Captain Eric A. Comvoy, touring manager of the English Futurists, is in town making arrangements for this company’s visit to Foxton on the 16th inst.

The weather during (he past week has been somewhat phenomenal for this time of the year. Torrental rain has fallen with high winds and a dropping temperature.

It is stated that; the Prince of Wales will shortly come into closer touch the machinery of Government, arrangements having been made whereby he will participate in the King’s work, and enable His Majesty to enjoy more holidays. Saturday was the SGtli anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. In a letter published in a Wellington newspaper a correspondent quoting another writer, stated that the original document of th'e Treaty of Waitangi had been stored in the Dominion Museum and had been destroyed by rats. Enquiry made on Friday, showed that this was not the case. The original Treaty is now stored in the strongroom of the Government Buildings, Lambton Quay. A curious phenomenon was not--iced yesterday at Raglan, where a south-westerly storm lias been raging for the last two days. A black pall was noticed in the sky, drifting toward Raglan, and shortly afterwards the town and district became enveloped in smoke. Many people in Hamilton were inquiring where the smoke came from. It is surmised that it originated in the bush tires which are raging in .Australia and was blown across the Tasman Sea by the gale.

Following the action of Signor Mussolini in closing Italian danc-ing-halls, there is ail agitation ill Wales regarding the morality of dancing. The Rev. T. Evans, Baptist minister at Newport, Pembrokeshire, says that dancing is neither healthy nor harmless. It excites and intoxicates and causes undue blood pressure. A girl waltzing for fifteen minutes in a crowded ballroom is similar in condition to one drinking champagne. Mr. Licufor Thomas, Magistrate at Pontypridd, advocates the closing of the dancing-halls at 10.30 p.m. on the ground that the reputation of Welsh women is being thrown away for the sake of the sensuous glamour of dancing and the seductive dalliance of the dangerous walk home.

In extending a welcome to the Rev. Robert Crockett, newly inducted Presbyterian Minister at Levin, the Rev Inglis said: “I knew three ministers, and here was their attitude towards their new charges. The first said: ‘Here am I, what are you going to do for me?” He was born tired and the result was he was a disastrous failure. The second '-said ‘Here am I, what can I do for you?’ He was full of energy and enthusiasm and they let him work till he nearly dropped and wouldn’t move to help him. He also failed. The third was a success for he asked, ‘Here am I, coming to work for you and Him; what can we do?” No man had yet failed where he hart the co-operation of the congregation and no man had made a success who had not.”

A meeting of those interested in public swimming baths will he held in the Town Hall supper-room on Thursday evening next at 8 o’clock.

The late Cardinal Mender's will says: “I have little to leave behind —no personal fortune. The small profits from hooks have gone mostly to charity. What savings remain should he expended in education.”

At last night’s meeting of All Saints’ Church Vestry it was decided that, as this year (1926) is the local Church’s Jubilee Year, a Festival week should be held in November next. Various committees are to be set up for the purpose of arranging for the different services, festivities, celebrations, etc., by which it is hoped to mark the passing of half-a-century of church work in the Foxton District. Bishop Taylor-Sinith, recently through the Dominion, asked when he was going to smoke replied, “When I am cremated.” No friend of the weed evidently'? Well, that’s his loss. Tobacco is often reviled by those who don’t like it but so long as the quality is good, and it doesn’t contain an excess of nicotine its use may be considered rather benefieial than otherwise. “Smoker’s throat,” “Smoker’s heart” and smoker’s nerve-troubles all arise from 100 much nicotine in the tobacco. The purest tobaccos are grown right here in New Zealand. They contain a very small proportion of nicotine, and so may be smoked, pipeful after pipeful, with impunity. As to quality there is nothing to beat them for flavour and aroma. That is largely owing to the fact that the leaf is toasted (quite a new idea) in the course of manufacture. . These excellent brands are in various strengths (to suit all smokers). Ask your tobacconist for “Riverhead Gold” mild, “Navy Cut” (Bulldog), medium or “Cut Plug No. 10,” (Bullshoad) full. They are all toasted.*
