Shed Destroyed by Whirlwind. When a whirlwind struck a milking shed at Tariki, yesterday, Miss E. Bowling, one of three persons sheltering in it from a storm, received a blow on the head which necessitated her admission to New Plymouth Hospital. Her condition is not serious. The other two persons escaped injury, but the shed was destroyed. Part of it was found nearly a mile away.
Goods Transport. The three Wairarapa Goods Transport Control Committees are compiling returns as to the manpower position in the industry throughout the district and as to tire requirements for the nejct six months. Proposals are also under consideration to ensure the maximum loading with the minimum of running, in order to save tires and petrol. The cartage of stock is to be taken up with the sub-committee concerned during next week.
