Junior Philatelists Enthusiasm for the hobby of stamp collecting was evinced at the meeting of the junior branch of the Waikato Philatelic Society last night, when there were 21 present. The competition was won by J. Hammond, second place going to Spencer Morrison and Pat Taylor. R. Roblin presented the chairman with a beautifully hand-made gavel. The secretary, David Nelson, gave a short address on the last pictorial issue of New Zealand and followed it by a competition. Several new members were added to the roll.

It is a remarkable thing that m spite of all the trouble and turmoil in the world today Dame Fashion goes on undisturbed. Looking round the new season’s range at Hooker and Kingston’s we find that this autumn she has excelled herself as never before, in fact, this season will be the smartest yet. Pay a visit to Hooker’s tomorrow, see the window displays, look through the showroom and you will be both amazed and delighted. Hooker and Kingston's “The one place to shop after all" ’and be sure and make it your first visit otherwise you may be faced with regrets.**
