From the Secretary, Dannevirke District A. and P. Association, to the Stationmaster, Dannevirke:—

I have to thank you very sincerely for your kind help in connection with our recent Show. The willing cooperation we had from yourself and staff made our work much easier, and I heard nothing but praise from the exhibitors for the way in which their exhibits were handled by your Department. I feel sure that the splendid work you did for the Show and particularly the live interest you took in the Night Carnival and Procession, will have its indirect value to the Railway Department.

It has been evident to us of late years that your Department has created a policy of working in with the people and looking for business from a cooperative point of view, apart from adhering to strictly official methods, and to my mind this has been of direct value to the Railway. Our Show is a very big concern, and the co-operation we have received from the officers stationed in Dannevirke has done much to bring about the feeling that the Railway Department is out to serve the people.

These are days of heavy organisation, and all must be prepared to prove that one body depends on the willing help of the others.

From the Director, Ellis & Burnand Ltd., Hamilton, to the Stationmaster, Otahuhu:—

We wish to express our thanks to you for the courtesy shown and assistance given to our Mr. R. K. Dey by yourself and staff while handling timber at your yards, Otahuhu.

We may say that the assistance given to our representative is very much appreciated and assisted us considerably in having the work carried out with the least possible inconvenience.

From Mr. George Day, Miramar, Wellington, to the General Manager of Railways, Wellington:—

I desire to express my thanks to the Stationmaster, Thorndon, and his Foreman, for the courtesy and kindness they extended to an aged invalid passenger who arrived at Thorndon station recently. Through their care the ordeal of transfer from train to ambulance was considerably minimised, and that which seemed most difficult was thus made easy.

From the Hon. Secretary, New Zealand Utility Poultry Club, Christchurch, to the Stationmaster, Christchurch:—

On behalf of the members of this Club I would like to express my thanks and appreciation of the expeditious manner in which your staff at Christchurch and Papanui handled the many crates of poultry consigned to our Egg Laying Test at Papanui.

In addition to receiving many crates of live poultry, the Club also returned by rail many crates of birds that had completed their test.

The fact that all birds arrived promptly and in good order certainly warrants the thanks and appreciation of this Club.
