Mr B. McFarlane, postmaster, Lower Hutt, will retire on superannuation at the end of May after 40 years’ service. He will live in Christchurch. His successor has not yet been appointed. Father M. McNally, Belfast, and Father Patrick McCrory, Glasgow, are on their way to New Zealand to join the Maori Mission in Auckland. Both Father McNally and Father McCrory followed a classical education at Freshfield, Liverpool. Afterward they studied theology at Roosendaal, in Holland. For the last four years they have been studying theology at St. Joseph’s College, Mill Hill. They expect to remain in Auckland for at least 15 years.

Admitted to the Hastings Memorial Hospital last Thursday suffering from the effects of shock and a fractured leg when he fell from a tree on his property, Frederick Kendall, aged 77, Pakowhai, has died. Mr Kendall’s birthplace was Hull, from which he came to the Dominion as a young man, taking up farming in the Waikato. He had lived in Pakowhai for 50 years and was well known as a champion ploughman. His team of draughts was considered one of Hawke's Bay’s finest.
