LOCAL AND GENERAL
Theft at Taneatua During the temporary absence of the owner, an intruder yesterday morning, entered Mr. S. G. Kearn's ■hairdresser's shop in Taneatua and rifled the till. A sum upwards of 35s' in cash was removed. Oui; Taneatua correspondent reports that a Maori youth was arrested later in the day by.Constahle MlcDonnell and will be charged with the theft. Accident Victims Improvlng A report received from King George V. Hospital last night indicates that the condition of all three men involved in the motor accident on the Rotorua-Taupo Road on Monday morning is improving. Grsiss Mixtures In an article published in the "Post" on October 14, giving Mr. Bruce Levy's views on grassing of pumice lands, an omission occurred. White clover was not mentioned in the paragraph headed "Certified Grasses." Mr. Levy is definitely firm in his opinion that white clover is the most essential clover for the pumice lands. Through the white clover more than any other species is the development of pumice lands possible. White clover and superphosphate pave the way for the ultimate grass-clover sward. Aeropiane Ambulance Suggestions were made at a meeting of the Wanganui Hospital Board that aeroplanes should be used in cases of emergency between Wanganui and Raetihi (says the Wanganui Chronicle) . It was noted that a 'plane could be chartered to fly to Raetihi in half an hour, and if the people of Raetihi liked to improve a landing ground, the matter could be considered further. Good Lamb Prices Reports from the Urenui district state that farmers* have been offered 8d per lb. for their early draft of lambs, which are to be shipped early in November so as to reach Great Britain in time for the Christmas trade. The price is very encouraging to farmers since it is equivalent to £1 for a 301b. lamb, while the opening price last year was only 11s or 12s. With the spring weather lambs have done well and already some are being killed at the freezing works.
