Manawatu Herald TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 1926. LOCAL AND GENERAL

The census will he taken tonight. Mr. S. G. McLaren of the local .Railway staff, has received notice of transfer to New Plymouth. He leaves to take up his new position in the course of a few days.

Miss Browning of the local leaching staff, has accepted a position on the staff of the Christchurch Infant School, Croyden, London." Miss Browning leaves for England about the end of June. The total number of motor regismtration in No. 9 Highways District, embracing the counties of Horowhenua}JllutU Ivairanga/iKiwitea, Makara, - Manawatu, Oroua, Pohangina, was, at the end of March, 16,400. As a result of the abundance of schnapper about the mouth of the Manawatu River; six “flatties” and four launches set out for a day’s Ashing on Sunday, but owing to the rough state of the bar, were unable to cross and had to return home. A fisherman named Edward Hough was fined £2O and costs at Auckland last week and his vessel and tackle, valued at approximately £7OO, were ordered to he confiscated for using a Danish seine net for taking fish within the area of (lie Firth of Thames.

Fully half of those who attended the householders meeting for the election of a school committee last night, came from the Beach, where many have children attending the side-school. It is anticipated that in the near future that the Beach, school will be made a separate institution.

At last night’s meeting of householders, Cr. Adams was in good voice, and touched on some injustices lie had suffered in connection with past debates on the question of the location of swimming baths, lie had been accused, he said, of opposing the establishment of baths, whereas lie was much in favour of baths if located on the site next. Ihakara Gardens. What he opposed was having the baths placed on “Stink Creek”—presumably an appropriate name popular among our City Fathers for what is really the Awahou stream. “That district councils be allowed to issue season tickets, which would be available to all matches under the control 1 of the combined Union”—was the text of a motion put forward by Mr. K. Eglington at the last, meeting of the ManawatuHorowhenua Rugby Union. In support thereof the .mover observed that the sale of such tickets would probably enable the ITorowhenua Union to wipe out its deficit, it the fiscal result of a similar scheme in Hawke’s' Bay last year was a criterion. (The suggestion found ample support from other members of the l nion, the motion being confirmed unanimouslv as an excellent suggestion.

A party of local Masons who visited Shannon last night experienced the difficulties and risks attendant upon those who have to negotiate the river crossing at night. Owing to the low state of the river it was considered too dangerous to attempt the water crossing on the Shannon side for punt and car. A heavy fog hank inveloped the river which was crossed by boat, and a car obtained to complete the journey from the ferry to Shannon, and vica versa on the homewad trip. If those responsible for the construction of the new bridge had to put up with some of the experiences, risks and discomforts of settlers, very little delay would occur in the erection of the new bridge. What kind of tobacco do you prefer—mild, medium, or full? If you have been long a worshipper at the shrine of My Lady Nicotine, you have doubtless sampled all sorts of brands at one time or another, and have vour preferences. But have you ever tried toasted tobacco? It is quite a new idea. The leaf is carefully toasted and this process develops the flavour and aroma in quite a surprising way. It’s like eating salt with nuts or mustard with beef or cheese. You can test this for yourself because the New Zealand tobaccos, now so much in evidence, are all toasted. Hence their delightful fragrance and flavour. And unlike most of the imported brands they contain such a small percentage of nicotine that they may he smoked pipe after pipe “till the cows come home” without unpleasant or harmful consequences. They won't bile llie tongue, and appeal to all tastes. “liivcrhead Gold’’ is aromatic, “Toasted Navy Cul” (Bulldog) a pleasing medium, and “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bull’s Head) a line full tlavoured tobacco.*
