Nuwe Terrein Van Groot Waarde: Daar is die afgelope jaar baie vordering gemaak met die afrondingswerk aan die nuwe skouterrein hier waar die Bolandse Landboutentoonstelling vandag ’n aanvang geneem. Dit is die tweede keer dat die tentoonstelling onder sy nuwe naam en op die nuwe terrein aangebied word. Voorheen het dit bekend gestaan as die Paarl-Wellington-Franschhoekskou. Dit is die 107de keer dat ’n landboutentoonstelling in Paarl gehou word. Die nuwe skouterrein is gewaardeer teen nagenoeg R300 000.
Horses And Dogs At The Show:
Today is Show Day in the Boland with the opening of the Boland Agricultural Show at Paarl. One of the features of the programme this week will be a demonstration by dogs at the Club for German Shepherd Dogs, which has 462 members. The dogs are trained to international rules and their handlers will be dressed in international colours. Dogs which will be seen in action are Ajax, first rescue dog in South Africa, belonging to Mrs. Becker-Lang, of Parow; and Loker, first South African military dog, owned by Mrs. Hilton Roberts, of Clifton. Since November these dogs have been used for protection services at soccer matches in which Cape Town City and Hellenic have played and at the Cape Show at Goodwood.
Akkerboom Was Gevaar: Een van Paarl se bekende akkerbome, wat na raming byna 200 jaar oud is, moes deur die munisipaliteit verwyder word omdat dit ’n publieke gevaar geword het. Dit is aan die Hoofstraat geleë en een van die reuse-takke het verlede week in die straat neergestort en die straat versper. Kragdrade is afgeruk.
Racing Bicycle In Smash:
Two accidents occurred at Paarl yesterday in one of which V. Gabela was knocked down by a car and injured.
Mr. Raymond de Vries was injured at the weekend when his racing cycle collided with a car. He was taken to hospital.
