Bicycles but no Bulletin
The phones were running hot at the Waimarino Bulletin offlce last Tuesday morning as anxious and even irate readers complained they had not received their copies on Monday afternoon. The first stopwork meeting in five years for the Auckland Road Services branch of the National Union of Railwaymen, delayed delivery of the newspaper by
about twenty hours. The delivery children (pictured above) waited patiently, but in vain, for the newspapers to arrive on Monday afternoon. The Waimarino Bulletin is printed in Te Awamutu and brought down to Ohakune on the Auckland/Wellington express service, which usually leaves Auckland at 8.20am. The stopwork meeting
on Monday morning meant the express left at 1.30pm instead, five hours late. By the time it got to Ohakune, the usual depot was closed for the night and the driver sensibly took the papers on to Taihape. On Tuesday morning, the Bulletin was brought back to Ohakune. The delivery children commenced their runs immediately.
