Smooth Flying

From Rod Moriarty of the Gisborne Pilots' Association come these shots of the latest in.the line of Piper high performance all-weather aircraft. It is the Seneca and there are only two in the country. This one is pictured at Gisborne Airport after being flown in by Ministry of Transport testing officer Harold Bennett, who uses it to get around New Zealand. Mr Bennett takes aspiring pilots for their flying tests.

I Am Photography!

I Turn back the pages of the Book of Memory. I bring you thoughts of past years and old-time friends. I keep forever green the happy hours of childhood. I dull the pangs of bereavement and blunt the edge of the grim reaper's scythe. I carry the news of the world, and bring you visions of far distant lands. Our modern civilization is largely dependent on my efforts. Though men may pass and empires crumble to dust, my magic will preserve their likeness for future generations. Not purse proud, I am within the reach of all. I solve mysteries impenetrable to mortal eyes; I ferret out the criminal when other means have failed. I illumine the pages of history, and make learning possible for the multitude. Born instantaneously in a ray of light, I become everlasting. As necessary in war as in peace, I am man's servant, and yet his master. I am an art—and yet a business. I am photography.

Photography is just about everything as this par shows.

Everything
