Mrs S. Price, a member of the Social Group for the Disabled, has made a marvellous job of fancy work on this afternoon tea cloth. It has taken her many hours because, you see, although it is perfect in every stitch, she can only work with one hand. Makes you wonder just what is the matter with all these people who moan about having nothing to do.

From Mrs Noema Reen, nee Te Runa, comes this picture of herself and Sean. Noema, who recently celebrated her 21st birthday, left Gisborne on a working holiday in 1968. She met and married her serviceman husband while away, and they are now living in Cyprus. They hope to return to New-Zealand in 1974 and visit Noema's parents, who still live in Gisborne.
