The Intellectually Handicapped Children's Society is still waiting on Government approval of their subsidy for the I.H.C. hostel to be erected on the site in Albert Street. A house at 26 Cook Street, which abuts on to the hostel site has been purchased as a residence for staff of the hostel, which we all hope will not be long in being built. This year's appeal week takes place from April 1 to 6 and, at left, is a copy of the society's poster for the appeal.

A former Gisborne resident who now lives in Taupo returned for a visit recently. An auto-gyro enthusiast, he is Sid Lane who brought his machine over and spent some time flying out at Manutuke.
