N.Z. RAILWAYS MAGAZINE
NOVEMBER ISSUE “The difficulty with music is that those who understand it best always explain it worst; something like Mr Pitman struggling to explain shorthand, in shorthand, to a cross-eyed Croat during a black-out,” remarks Ken Alexander in an amusing article “Nonsensical Notes,” illustrated by himself. O. N. Gillespie continues his articles on New Zealand industries with a treatise on the manufacture of baking powder, condiments and biscuits. Appropriately, Centennial touches come into bright features by Joyce West (“Romantic History of New Plymouth and Mt. Egmont”), Evelyn Rogers (“Lure of the Bay of Islands”), Dorothy Tanner (“Diary of Edward Jollie, 184142”), Ella Wall (“Historic Cape Foulwind,” in which raids of the famous Te Rauparaha are recalled. Enid Saunders cleverly tells a Maori legend with a love interest and a villain who was bewitched and turned into a koukou (owl). Other features include a section for women, sport, original verse and a chat on books' and authors. There are almost 60 pictures, including original drawings. ; ’ ! j ! I
