INTER-HOUSE WINNERS
From New York comes the information that a new three-wheel, superstreamlined automobile is being made ready for the American market. Losing a purse containing £3O in notes, two women who are spending holidays at Palm Beach, Waiheke, were lucky enough to meet the finder not long afterward. They were going to Surfdale from Palm Beach when they discovered their loss and they immediately retraced their steps. On the way they met Mr G. Kawhai, a Maori workman. They were delighted when he produced the purse, and he was gratefully rewarded.
The Government has purchased an area of more than 200 acres of native bush on both sides of the Brynderwyn deviation of the State highway from Auckland to Whangarei. An announcement to this effect was made by MrJ. G. Barclay, M.P. for Marsden. In the area secured are fine specimens of kauri trees, and as both sides of the road are included in the purchase, it will mean that this route will provide fine native bush scenery. The property was purchased by the Government from Snelling Brothers and is being set aside as a scenic reserve.-
