FLOODED STREAMS
RAIN IN CANTERBURY (By Telegraph.—Press Association) CHRISTCHURCH, Tuesday Minor flooding and the dislocation of communications were reported in North Canterbury today as a result of the first real rainfall the province has had since last winter. Three inches and more of rain are reported from northern districts during the last 48 hours. The Pahau River was over the main north road, south of Culverden, and the Mason River ford, eight or nine miles north of Waiau, was impassable. The mail bus from Kaikoura could not make the trip. Schools in the Oxford district were closed today because many pupils were unable to negotiate flooded streams.
