Toppled Over Bank When driving over the Mamaku Hills towards Rotorua yesterday, Mrs. H. T. Morton, of Te Kuiti, had a fortunate escape from serious injury when the sedan car in which she was travelling dropped over a steep bank. The car was extensively damaged, but the driver escaped with minor bruises. Good Results Very satisfactory results are shown by the grading obtained on the first truck loads of cheese from the Sunny Park factory, Te Poi, since cheese-making was resumed early in Decembei*. Cheese-making was reverted to on account of the extra price cheese was fetching on a butterfat basis, in comparison with butter on the London market. Earth Movements at Tirau Slight earth movements in the ground at the back of Matamata County Conncil cottages at Tirau are considered by the engineer to be cause.d by the closing of fissures f ormed at the time of the Napier earthquake. He considered that there was no danger to the houses or the- water tower, but said the position would be watched carefully for any sign of danger. Hard times?
