The workman had placed a laddei against the clock-tower in the public square, and was about to clean the clock face. “Ah!" said the old lady, “are you going to do something to the clock?” “No, mum,” replied the man "I'll be able to see it better, that’s all!”

Dairy farmers and factory managers throughout the Waikato already expect a record season for dairy production. Output up to the middle of December was about 20 per cent higher than in the previous season, and there is every prospect of the record figures of 1937-38 being eclipsed. One of the most remarkable features of the season has been the fact that the peak of production is lasting much longer than usual. One Waikato factory reached its peak on November 11, when 516 boxes of butter were produced. Even now, about five weeks later, 490 boxes a day are being manufactured. The production season continues to be particularly favourable, in marked contrast with the dry spell at this time last season. Rains have , fallen just when they were needed. Pastures have responded remarkably well, and with an abundance of feed guaranteed, there should be little concern over the summer months. The hazard of unfavourable weather is still to be faced in the autumn, but given reasonable conditions, record figures are expected.
