John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 6 April 1925: “CLEAR BREACH OF LAW” MAGISTRATE’S DECISION REVERSED. (BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.) GREYMOUTH, 4th April. An interesting reserved judgment was given to-day by Mr. Justice <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MacGregor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MacGregor</a> in the case in which the police appealed against the dismissal by the Magistrate (Mr. Meldrum) of a charge against Charlotte Lewis, licensee of a <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Kumara" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kumara</a> hotel, for refusing accommodation to F. King, a <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Prohibition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Prohibition</a> lecturer. Mr. Justice MacGregor stated that no valid reason was given for refusing accommodation, and the real reason seemed to be the fact that King was a Prohibition agent. That was not a valid reason in law, however distasteful the supplying of such accommodation was to the licensee. King was a member of the travelling public, and the licensee was bound to supply lodging for the night. A clear breach of the law was made, and the licensee should have been convicted. The Judge expressed surprise that the Magistrate had not convicted, as it was difficult to imagine a clearer case of refusal. The case was remitted to the lower Court, and costs of the appeal, £10 [ca. $1200 today], were allowed to the police. <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250406.2.110" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250406.2.110</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/LawCourts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LawCourts</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a>

John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 5 April 1924: LOCAL AND GENERAL … An interesting account of the amazing recovery of a small bird after a serious injury is given by a chief petty officer on H.M.S. <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Philomel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Philomel</a>, says the “Auckland Herald.” The bird, a white dove, was savagely attacked by a dog; and had its chest so torn open that its heart was actually exposed, the beating being plainly visible. After lying unattended for half an hour the bird was taken to the sick bay, where its wounds were sewn up with horse hair, and a bandage wound round its body. It was then put to bed in its box, while its mate waited nearby for company. On being visited next morning the bird was found to have freed itself from its bandages and to be flying around the room. When the door was opened it flew outside. The dove appears to be now as strong as ever, though the stitches can be plainly seen in its body. <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19240405.2.18" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19240405.2.18</a> Wikipedia article about the Philomel <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Philomel_(1890)" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Philomel_(1890)</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Doves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Doves</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Birds</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Cruisers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cruisers</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a>

John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 4 April 1925: NEW ZEALAND AND THE EMPIRE (REUTER’S TELEGRAM.) (Received 4th April, 2 p.m.) LONDON, 3rd April. Earl Jellicoe made his first public appearance since his return as the guest of the annual dinner of the Association of British Chambers of Commerce. Replying to the toast of “Our Guest,” Earl Jellicoe expressed exceedingly deep regret at leaving New Zealand. He told how when a Peninsular steamer was going outwards as the Mooltan was anchoring at Tilbury, his children said: “Let’s go aboard the other ship and return to New Zealand.” He dwelt on the Dominion’s keenness for <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/trade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trade</a> within the Empire, which was primarily due to the New Zealanders’ characteristically strong patriotism and their strong Imperial instinct. Earl Jellicoe concluded by deploring Mr. Massey’s illness. <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250404.2.89" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250404.2.89</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/GovernorGenerals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GovernorGenerals</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a>

John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 3 April 1925:           FLATS AND HOMES    MODERN HOUSEKEEPING REMARKS OF PROFESSOR OF           ARCHITECTURE   … Professor C. R. Knight, who arrived at Auckland this week to take the new Chair of Architecture at the Auckland University, laughingly denied having any particular plans for teaching new architecture to New Zealand. Every town… had to be judged from an architectural point of view by its local conditions…. Location, trade, and lay-out all had their influences on building.   Trained in England, France, and America, Professor Knight is a young Australian…. He says that the most striking thing about architecture in New York at the present time is the development of the “flat.”… “I think… <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/flats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flats</a> will continue to grow with the cities,” added Professor Knight, who instanced one or two very large Sydney flats. As the business of a city grew, private houses gave way to shops and stores. The people had then to either live in flats or get out to the far suburbs, and a very large proportion of them preferred the flat with its close proximity to the theatres, shops, and restaurants, and its absence of many of the usual household worries including the servant." <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250403.2.109" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250403.2.109</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Housing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Housing</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Apartments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apartments</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Architecture</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a>

John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 2 April 1925: NEW PAVILION Though those who had hoped that the new Basin Reserve pavilion might have been available to the public and sports bodies during the summer now ending have been disappointed, winter sports people may look forward fairly confidently to the benefits of an up-to-date pavilion during the coming session for the work is now very well advanced and may be completed within a couple of months. Latterly efforts have been concentrated upon the completion of interior work, but the pavilion will be topped off during the next two or three weeks by the covering of the steel roof girders, a fairly big job, but a straight ahead one. Plans are already tentatively prepared for further improvements to the Basin, including the terracing of the slopes to the north and south of the pavilion, thus affording very considerable open-air stand accommodation, and the setting back of the western boundary line of the playing area proper to give a broad sweep in place of the present straight line. <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250402.2.88" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250402.2.88</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/BasinReserve" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BasinReserve</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Pavilions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pavilions</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/SportsGrounds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SportsGrounds</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Wellington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wellington</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a>

John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 1 April 1925: A DANGEROUS BUSINESS That good housekeeping rule as to a place for everything and everything in its place is particularly applicable to the ancient art and sport of kite flying, and in general it may be said that the place for kite flying—at the present time in tremendous vogue—is out of town, and especially well away from overhead electric power cables. This, mere annoyance to linesmen who are called upon to waste time, and energy in clearing lines is one sufficient reason for the unpopularity of the sport, but parents should remember, if youngsters will not, that kite flying near cables carrying 3000 to 11,000 volts may be extremely dangerous; under certain conditions the child might receive a very severe shock. A definite warning as to the danger which follows interference with power lines is given by notices placed on the Hutt River pipe bridge, but there the warning is given to fishers, who may, so run the notices, receive a fatal shock should a wet line be thrown across the high[?] power lines across the river. <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250401.2.99" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250401.2.99</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Kites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kites</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Angling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Angling</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PowerLines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PowerLines</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Electricity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Electricity</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Safety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Safety</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a>

John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 30 March 1925: LOCAL AND GENERAL … Another instance of the recovery by railway officials of an article lost from the train by a lady passenger has been brought to notice, and with it a further example of the value of forethought is provided. During a trip by train to Auckland recently a Wellington lady was in the act of washing her hands when a valuable ring slipped from her finger and passed into the waste pipe of the basin before it could be recovered. The train was then some distance from <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Taihape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Taihape</a>, and, on arrival at that station, the loss of the ring was made known to the station officials there. An examination of the pipe failed to reveal the missing article, which had evidently fallen right through to the railway line. The lady passenger informed the officials that she had taken a note of the time when the article was lost, and with this information as a guide, that portion of the line over which the train had passed at the time stated was subsequently searched. The result was that the lady had her ring returned the other day. <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250330.2.29" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250330.2.29</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Railways" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Railways</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/LostAndFound" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LostAndFound</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MainTrunkLine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MainTrunkLine</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a>

John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 28 March 1925: A STOVE WHICH TELLS TIME So much wisdom is in an oblong box set on sturdy legs! After food is prepared for cooking of any kind—baking, broiling, toasting, poaching, roasting, stewing, frying—it has only to be placed in the electrically heated well and a clock set for the particular hour when the process should be complete. The cook may then leave her kitchen far behind in fact and thought, and, lo, when the dinner is done to a turn, off goes the current. The idea resembles that of the fireless cooker. Heat is supplied not only from under the oven but also from a reversible top which browns foods appetisingly, and which when turned over becomes a frying pan or toaster. <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250328.2.82" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250328.2.82</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Cooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cooking</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Ovens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ovens</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Stoves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Stoves</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ElectricalAppliances" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ElectricalAppliances</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a>

After that it’s much easier to accept another, and gradually he got five beers into him.” The sub-inspector: “There’s nothing suggested against his character.” The Magistrate: “He is fined £5 [ca. $630 today], and disqualified from obtaining a driver’s license [sic] for six months from to-day. Six months is not a very long time, and he will have to use a <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/buggy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#buggy</a> or something when he comes in.” <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250327.2.146" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250327.2.146</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/LawCourts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LawCourts</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/DrinkDriving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DrinkDriving</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WestMelton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WestMelton</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Christchurch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christchurch</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a>

John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 26 March 1925: BURGLAR CAPTURED EXCITING CHRISTCHURCH INCIDENT A BOLD BID FOR LIBERTY … CHRISTCHURCH, 25th March. Masked by a silken scarf Whitefoord Jukes <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Curtis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Curtis</a>, aged 17 years, was arrested while crouching behind a counter in the premises of the New Zealand Farmers’ Co-operative Association of Canterbury, Ltd., at 3.30 a.m. to-day. Curtis, though handcuffed, made a great bid for his liberty, but was recaptured after a splendid break, which traversed several blocks and ended at the back of the municipal chambers. It was found, eventually, that Curtis was arrested on his third job, as the information he gave to the police led to the recovery of a large quantity of stolen property, associating him with the operations at two other business premises. [Details of his capture, escape and recapture are recounted]. … Eventually Curtis was cornered after a long chase, and even then he unsuccessfully endeavoured to break away again. Curtis appeared in the Court this morning charged with theft, and was remanded for a week. The <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/police" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#police</a> said that there were other charges to be preferred against him. <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250326.2.134" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250326.2.134</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Crimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Crimes</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Christchurch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christchurch</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a>

John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 25 March 1925: HEAVY CATCHES OF FISH While the question of a regular and plentiful supply of fish is engaging attention of scientific and commercial men, <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Wellington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wellington</a> harbour as a fishing ground furnishes food for thought. On Tuesday last a party of three, fishing from a small boat, landed a catch weighing approximately 2 cwt. [ca. 100kg]. Last Saturday the same party, augmented by three additional fishermen, landed a great haul. The catch for the two days was 70 moki, 220 terakihi, and several fine schnapper [snapper], all caught on hand lines. The weight of the total catch was quite 5½ cwt. [280kg]. In the local market it would have realised a good round sum. The party distributed its catch to friends, after satisfying its own needs. Other amateur parties are also reporting large catches. These large hauls are being taken over the ground now being dredged. The buckets stirring up the bottom evidently release large supplies of feed, attracting moki, schnapper [snapper], and other fish. Usually good as the fishing in the harbour may now be, it is not generally so abundant as in former years. <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250325.2.142" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250325.2.142</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Fishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fishing</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Angling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Angling</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WellingtonHarbour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WellingtonHarbour</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a>

John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 23 March 1925:                  NELSON NEWS         YOUTHS AND AQUATICS (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)                 NELSON, 21st March.   The aquatic proclivities of the <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/youth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#youth</a> of this city are always to the fore in the summer months. Canvas <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/canoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#canoes</a> used to be much in evidence, both on the river and harbour, and were nearly all constructed by the boys themselves, some of them exhibiting great skill, both in design and workmanship, and when the tides were high the fleet used to leave its rendezvous—the river—and adventure on the harbour, and in some cases out on the open bay. Various were the means of propulsion… the mosquito fleet would be found in units all over the harbour bobbing on the waves, and, to the astonishment of the boat and yachtsmen frequently passing them…. Seldom, if ever, was an accident reported, and as the tide receded the fleet again reassembled in the river.… this summer… the graceful canoe seems to be superseded by a multitude of tiny craft of a type similah [sic] to a wharf construction punt.… Our Iron Duke Sea Scouts, who recently won Lord Jellicoe’s trident, were, no doubt, recruited from this perennial band of adventurers. <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250324.2.108" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250324.2.108</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Recreation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Recreation</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Pastimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pastimes</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Boys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Boys</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Nelson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nelson</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a>

John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 20 March 1925: UNDESIRABLES EASY ENTRY TO THE DOMINION DEPUTATION TO MINISTER OF JUSTICE. … AUCKLAND, This Day. A complaint regarding the ease with which <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/stowaways" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stowaways</a> gain admission to the Dominion was made to the Minister of Justice, Sir James <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Parr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Parr</a> by a deputation from the Southern Cross League. Mrs. Nicol said there had been cases where stowaways had been taken before local Magistrates, and as the charges were dismissed they were allowed to remain in New Zealand.… masters of vessels were now not taking the trouble to prosecute. … The Minister agreed that the question was of importance, and when admitted the careers of deserters and stowaways should be watched very closely for the first year.… he had to consider the question seriously, when, as stated, a responsible police officer had said that some of the worst criminals reached the country in this way. … Mrs. Nicol asked whether the Minister could not tighten up the jurisdiction given to Magistrates. Sir James replied that as Minister of Justice he could not, and would not, interfere with any Magistrate. <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250320.2.100" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250320.2.100</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ConstitutionalConventions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ConstitutionalConventions</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/SeparationOfPowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SeparationOfPowers</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/LawCourts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LawCourts</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a>

John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 19 March 1925: SLIP ON RIMUTAKA HILL ROAD (BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION.) MASTERTON, 19th March. The <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Rimutaka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rimutaka</a> Hill road was blocked an at 2.30 this afternoon through a slip coming down where a Public Works gang was widening the road. One car, with the assistance of ropes, got round the edge of the slip this evening, but it is doubtful if heavy traffic will get through until to-morrow night or possibly later. It is expected that the obstruction will not be removed for 48 hours. <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250319.2.117" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250319.2.117</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RimutakaHillRoad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RimutakaHillRoad</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Roads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Roads</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RoadClosures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RoadClosures</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Slips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Slips</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Roadworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Roadworks</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Remutaka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Remutaka</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WellingtonRegion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WellingtonRegion</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a>
