Our Cover

Winner of the Open Solo for the last four years running, skater Elizabeth Gooch figures on our cover this month.

Also competing successfully in national competitions and events, she is the daughter of Mr and Mrs J. T. Gooch, Cobden Street.

Elizabeth, who is a laboratory assistant at Wattie's, does her own sewing when she has time from her other hobby which, of course, is skating.

Back Cover: The softer colours of autumn enhance this charming study of the Hangaroa River.

Taken from the Tiniroto road, along whose side the river runs for some miles, the photo shows to advantage this picturesque stretch of water.
