ARAWHATA. (From Our Own Correspondent.) An enjoyable euchre party and dance was held in Arawhata School on Friday evening, June 2, there being a good attendance. The prizes were won respectively by Miss Ethel Briscoe and Mr. Charles Vickery. During the evening songs were rendered by Misses Orr, Markham and McGee, all being loudly applauded. The following ladies provided the refreshments: Mesdames Bevan, Briscoe, Alois, McPhee, Clegg, and Misses Markham. Dairy farmers are having a well-earned siesta at present, so also is our worthy factory manager, Mr. Fleming. It is to deplored there is no improvement to the road; instead, there is a multiplicity of holes, and pedestrians complain of sprained ankles, to avoid which they must travel at a snail’s gallop. Motorists freely confess that Arawhata Road is the bumpiest in Taranaki. It is Isolated from the rest of the world through lack of postal and telephonic communication. Your correspondent often wonders how people are going to manage in the case of an urgent telegram, especially now the milk carts are not running.
