Roving Camera
Some whopper crays have been coming to light from down Mahia way. Gisborne's crayfish firm down by the wharves, which exports the tails to the States, found this big 7½1b fellow in a recent batch. More recently they had an 81b one turn up. Note size compared with match box.
No public-spirited benefactor has yet donated a fountain to Gisborne, but a bulldozer driver did his best when he dug into the two-inch main at the corner of Nelson Road and Gladstone Road the other day.
Not a fugitive from "Show Boat", but a publicity stunt at Woolworths, to boost sales of licorice. "Sambo" is none other than Sefton Gregory.
