Jaw Dislocated.

When eating a pie in an Auckland tea-rooms on Saturday, a customer dislocated his jaw. Efforts to re-set it were unsuccessful, so a St John ambulance was called and the man was taken to the Auckland hospital. On arrival at the casualty ward, the ambulance driver asked the man his name. The latter’s jaw resumed its normal position when he attempted to reply.

Ski-ing on Mount Egmont. For beginners at least the 1938 skiing season on the Stratford side of Mt Egmont is almost ended. There is little snow on. the lower slopes of the mountain, where the grades are easy, and with a continuance of the present mild weather further substantial falls of snow can hardly be expected. It is recalled, however, that a heavy fall, which covered even the countryside round Stratford, occurred during Labour week-end some years ago, but such a fall in itself is of little practical use, Ski-ing conditions on the higher slopes round the Policeman are still good, however, and this most popular winter sport will be carried on by more experienced ski-ers for some lime to come.
