Power to parts of Stoke was disrupted and station 2XN went off the air when its power source was cut off, after a car had struck and wrecked a power pole outside the freezing works between Stoke and Richmond. At left, Waimea Power Board employees replace the pole and below left, a graphic example of what happens when a moving object strikes an equally unmovable object. Nobody was injured. (Tuffnell Pix).

With the acquisition of a new and approved pony measuring machine, the Nelson A and P Association is now able to issue life certificates for fully-grown horses (7 and over). The machine is one of only 11 in New Zealand and it is accurate to a fraction of an inch. It is the only such machine now recognised by the Royal Agricultural Society. Here, Diane Kyle holds the head of Chips while Jim Twidle, Allan Harford and Richard Pilmer (representing the R. A. S. ) do the measuring.
