John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 27 February 1925:       LOCAL AND GENERAL…   A <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Wellington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wellington</a> periodical recently published <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/photographs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photographs</a> showing a number of infantile paralysis <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/patients" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#patients</a> who are under treatment at the Wellington Hospital. At yesterday’s meeting of the Hospital Board, exception to the photographs being published was taken by Mr. C. H. Chapman, who wanted to know who gave permission for the photographs to be taken. He voiced his strong disapproval of such photographs being permitted to be taken, and said he hoped that whoever had taken them would never be permitted to do so again. The chairman (Mr. F. Castle) said as far as he knew no member of the board gave authority. Mr. C. M. Luke stated that his committee intended to bring up the matter at its next meeting. <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250227.2.45" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250227.2.45</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Children" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Children</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Hospitals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hospitals</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Polio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Polio</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Poliomyelitis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Poliomyelitis</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Privacy</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a>

John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 13 February 1925:                THE ALL BLACKS       NEW ZEALAND PUBLIC MISLED   Towards the close of the tour of the New Zealand <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Rugby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rugby</a> team in <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/England" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#England</a>, the “Daily Mail” published a message from a … Christchurch… correspondent… that [NZ] newspapers… strongly resented… the “spiteful” English criticism of the All Blacks and deprecated the “cold receptions” given by the public to the players on several grounds in England.… Mr. S. S. Dean, manager of the New Zealand team, … [stated]:—   “Our experience has been that the players in the various teams opposed to us have accepted their defeat in the best of spirit, and the best of good fellowship exists between them and ourselves. Many staunch and close friendships have been established.”   The correspondent of the “Daily Mail” who attended the principal matches … stated:—“Those of us who have followed the unbeaten All Blacks… can only be astonished at the statements… from Christchurch. In the north, in the west, in the big Welsh towns, and in London they have always been received with the greatest warmth. Every try or goal that they have scored has been greeted with cheer upon cheer. Off the field the players have been feted everywhere…." <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250213.2.102" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250213.2.102</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/AllBlacks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AllBlacks</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a>

John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 5 February 1925: HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE The return to <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/vaudeville" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vaudeville</a> at His Majesty’s Theatre has proved a popular attraction with <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Wellington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wellington</a> theatre-goers, and large audiences have been the rule this week. One of the outstanding attractions on a well-balanced programme is the act presented by that popular comedian, Claude Dampier, and his partner, Hilda Attenboro. Others on the bill are Lorna and Lance, the two Australian juveniles, Pic and Alf, comedy acrobats, the Lecardo Brothers, acrobats, Taylor and Summers, musical comedy duo, Sandrisi and Copelli, dancers, the Megan Brothers, musical clowns, and Miss Lena Jooste, a bare-foot sand dancer. <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250205.2.107" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250205.2.107</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Theatres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Theatres</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Comedy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Comedy</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a>

John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 4 February 1925: PACIFIC ROUTES WHICH WAS FIRST STEAMER? LONG DEBATED QUESTION The records of early steam navigation in the Pacific are difficult to trace, and the question which was the first steamer to cross that ocean took some time to decide. The evidence seems to be with the paddle steamer Golden Age… … the Golden Age and Monumental City cross[ed] in 1854 [and] some smaller paddle boats staggered across in the ’sixties, to the goldfields of Australia… …She arrived at Liverpool from New York in 1853, and from there made a record voyage to Australia. On her transpacific voyage she left Sydney on 11th May, 1854.… she was built of wood, and … the whole hull was diagonally braced with iron.… … The Golden Age was a side-wheel steamer, and was the property of the New York and Australian Steam Navigation Company, which proposed to build five more like her for trade on the route she pioneered. But her voyage was not a financial success. … <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250204.2.90" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250204.2.90</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Shipping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Shipping</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Steamers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Steamers</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Ships" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ships</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Pacific" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pacific</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/1850s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#1850s</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a>

John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 25 September 1924: NEEDLEWORK & NERVES There has been quite a revival of work done by hand, such as <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a>, <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knitting</a>, <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/crochet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crochet</a>, etc., during the last few years.… the reasons…the war was responsible because it made so many of us knit and crochet and sew, and now that we have got used to it we go on with the work.…that prices have gone up so much that we can’t afford to buy things, and have to make them ourselves. …that hand-made things are the fashion…. All these reasons are true, but …another reason…is that so many <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/women" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#women</a> who lead active lives find work with their hands extraordinarily resting, and those who don’t lead active lives find rather monotonous hand work wonderfully soothing. One woman who leads a very busy life, full of organising and responsibilities, finds her greatest recreation not in games, reading, or dancing, but in <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/embroidery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#embroidery</a>.… when she is settled to it she is lost to the world and forgets her weariness and worries. Another who leads a busy life, involving a good deal of brain fag, has discovered the delights of a big and rather monotonous piece of crochet, over which she says, she does not have to think, but can go on and on in a way that rests her tired nerves. <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19240925.2.155" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19240925.2.155</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Needlework" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Needlework</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Recreation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Recreation</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Relaxation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Relaxation</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a>

John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 18 July 1923: IS SPIRITUALISM TRUE? QUESTION DEBATED The question, “Is Spiritualism True?” formed the subject of an interesting public debate before a good attendance in the Concert Chamber … between the Rev. Wyndham Heathcote, B. A., for the affirmative and Mr. H. Scott Bennett who presented the negative… Bennett declared that the so-called spirit photographs of Sir Conan Doyle were frauds… <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19230718.2.17" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19230718.2.17</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Spiritualism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spiritualism</a>
