Webber) at 5 p.m. on Wednesday next, August 24. The annual general meeting of the club will be held on the following Wednesday, August 31. Collision at Te Whaiti When negotiating a sharp corner on the Te Whaiti Road on Friday a delivery van belonging to Mr. C. WPaton, hutcher, of Murupara, collided with a truck owned by a Mr. Ran■dall, and tlle van was extensively damaged. Fortunately neither driver suffered injury, although the driver of the van had a narrow escape. Very little damage was occasioned to the truck. Maori Songs Popular Items given by Maori members of £he Rotorua women's hockey team at a dinner arranged by the Hamilton Association in Hamilton on Saturday evening, were thoroughly appreciated by their hosts and caused mild excitement to passers-hy. ' Before the programme had proceeded far the sidewalk outside the restaurant was thronged with an interested audience.

Ventilation in Schools The Education Department has issued a circular to school teachers drawing attention to the necessity of maintaining free ventilation in corridors and rooms of schools. Recent inspections of schools have shown that this provision for the health of the children is not always given proper attention, the department says, and it regrets "that it is so often necessary to draw attention to this obvious fault and its harmful effects." Resjilt of Frost The severity of the recent frosts was strikingly illustrated by an unusual incident which occurred on a Waipukurau farm the other day, three weaner pigs losing their tails as the result of frost-bite. The tails became black and stiff, and eventually, in spite of careful treatment, dropped off. The general health of the pigs did not suffer, but, as they are pedigree animals, their value will, of course, be depreciated. Sullivan's 102 Goals In the match at Wellington on Thursday the English League team required 37 points to exceed the points total of any previous English tourists. By scoring 59 points against the combined side., the visitors accomplished their aim hy 22 points. Sullivan kicked sufficient goals to malce his total 102 for the trip. N.Z.
