Dental nurses Helen Sim and Linda Matheson, of Central School, pause for a moment to have a yarn to us. Helen is single, comes from Ashburton and has been a dental nurse at Central since February. She plays indoor basketball and tennis and likes to relax with knitting. Linda is married (a fairly newly-wed) and comes from Reefton. She's been a dental nurse for two years and, like Helen, came to Nelson in February. Indoor basketball and Continental cooking are her main interests. The little patient is Michael Lagrutta.

Two Enterprise printers we ran across recently were Bill Kiernander and Colin Hodgkinson. Bill, a bachelor, came to Nelson from Wellington 2½ years ago and he's been in the printing game for 27 years. He coaches the Federal senior hockey team, plays bowls and the odd game of cricket. Colin is married and has been a printer for 12 years (before coming to Nelson he lived in Tapawera). His hobbies include home gardening, gold prospecting and whitebaiting.
