HINUERA.

POST OFFICE. It does not look as if Hinuera is going to get a new post office for some time yet. The chief postmaster inspected the building* and conditions when in Hinuera the other day and although nothing official has been announced yet the impression has been gained that the officer in question seemed to find the accommodation adequate. What seems to substantiate this deduction is the fact that since the postmaster’s visit a notice has been placed .in the lobby at the Hinuera post office to the effect that from Monday next the office will close at 4 in the afternoon instead of 5. On Saturday the office will close at 12 noon but it will reopen for an hour at 4 p.m. on that day. RATEPAYERS’ ASSOCIATION. A letter has been received by Mi*. P. Hawke, of the Hinuera Farmers’ and Ratepayers’ Association, from Mr. F. F. Hockly, the member for Rotorua, in which constituency part of Hinuera lies. The writer deals with many things appertaining to the develorVymt of the district and a meeting of the association is to be held at an early date to discuss the matters referred to. THE HALL. For some time the provision at the Hinuera Public Hall has been deemed inadequate and in order to discuss, inter alia, the enlarging* of the hall, a meeting of the trustees has been called. It is considered very likely that in the near future Hinuera will have increased hall accommodation. AT THE FACTORY. Things are working very smoothly at the factory at present. The input of cream is well over that of the same period last year but no definite statistics are at present available. The number of boxes packed with the most delicious-looking* butter ready for export was quite a striking feature at the time of the writer’s call. THE SCHOOL. The school is closed for the usual second term vacation and the staff are all away holiday making. BACHELORS’ BALL. The bachelors of Hinuera held a ball on Wednesday night. The committee in charge consisted of Messrs. D. Mclsaacs (chairman), Brocklesby, C. Brown, Collins, Kneebone, Lee, Murray, Oates, and Randrupp. The hall was crowded, and a most enjoyable time was spent by all present. The floor was in splendid order, and Bates’ Matamata orchestra of five instruments supplied the music. Extras were supplied by Mesdames Wade and Ryan and Misses Collins and Nash. ’ A feature of the affair was the beautiful way in which the hall was decorated by the committee. Supper, which was on a lavish scale, was served in a marquee erected alongside the hall. The M.’sC. were Messrs. D. Mclsaacs, C. Brown, W. Oates and W. Brocklesby.
