Journalist Tina White's weekly "Memory Lane" article in the Manawatū Standard. Carol Davidson (née Jefferies) was adopted when she was a baby. Around 1995, Carol started making contact with her birth family. A 1939 picture of people sitting outside Ladies' Rest in Te Marae o Hine/The Square gave Carol Davidson the first glimpse of her birth mother Marion Emerson and aunts. In 2010, Mrs Davidson had another photo taken at the same spot with her aunts and granddaughter.

Mangatainoka School celebrated its Golden Jubilee in June 1939. This photograph was reproduced in the Manawatū Times on 10 June 1939, with the caption: "Mr. C. H. Brown, chairman of the School Committee, welcoming the ex-pupils on the first day of the celebrations."
