Having obtained a position in a dairy factory at Ruawai, North Auckland, through meeting friends in England who came from Ruawai, Mr J. E. Ashmore arrived at Auckland by the Monowai after cycling across America. Leaving England on May 12 Mr Ashmore cycled from New York to Chicago by way of Niagara and through the central American states to Montana. After crossing the Canadian border he spent two weeks at Canadian winter resorts and cycled through British Columbia. “The last 100 miles in Canada was rough going and I had to go by motor-truck." said Mr Ashmore. “The roads are rough in West Canada. My coast-to-coast trip took 11 weeks and I caught the Monowai at Victoria.”
Owing to the petrol restrictions and the war conditions, the Wairarapa College Parents’ Association has decided to postpone the card party which was to have been held tonight.
