THAMES NOTES
The Acclimatisation Society has liberated large numbers of trout fry in the Tapu, Mata. Waikawau and Manaia, streams.
The newly-purchased Coast Park, neai Thames, is being rapidly transformed into a beauty spot. Eve? y week-end sees a working bee improving the ground, and the trees recently planted are doing well. The beach ;-t Waiomo is much better than last year, more sand being deposited along the waterfront. • The Labour Da}' sports give everv promise of eclipsing all previous efforts of the committee. The procession will be a strong feature of the meeting, and the competition among the primary schools for the best display, the prize for which is the Burns Shield, will be keenly competed. The Government’s request for all men out of work to put in an applica - tion at the local Labour Bureau, has been replied to by 23 men registering within the past two days. This brings the Thames total of unemployed on tho bureau books up to 58. * • • The Highways Board notified the i settlers that 12 men were required for the Waikawau road. The farmers who applied for the work last July immedi- • ately notified the board that they would not undertake the work. Thera [ were many men in Thames mor# i urgently in need of a Job.
