Who’s Who on the Ulimaroa

Huncan and Mrs. Huncan were among those who returned after spending a holiday in Australia. Mr. Balfour Irvine and Mrs. Irvine returned after holiday-making in Sydney. Mr. Irvine says that the harbour bridge is now rapidly taking shape. * * * The popularity of the New Zealand Government scenic films was mentioned by Mr. V. E. Edwards, who has come from Sydney to join the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film organisation in Wellington. These films, he says, are doing very well in Australia and satisfy everyone. While lie is in New Zealand Mr. Edwards will arrange for more New Zealand scenic§ for exhibition in the Commonwealth. * * * “A cosmopolitan bowler” is how Mr. V. Casey now describes himself. He has spent three months in Sydney and Melbourne. When the New South Wales bowlers come to New Zealand on January 2 Air. Casey will play for them against the New Zealanders. “I don’t mind where I play, so long as I get a good game,” he said this morning. * * * Hr. L. B. Hay, of Borneo, has come to New Zealand on holiday. He had nothing to say about his life in the tropics, except that he was glad to get into a cooler climate. Forty-two years ago Pastor A_. G.
