Pushing out a linotype, big steps since 1903

Pushing out a linotype, big steps since 1903

Machine operators at work in the new typesetting ‘bay’. Donald Leslie Driver is standing (right). This image was taken (but not used) for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 27th January 1967. On June 30, 1903, when Messrs. H.N. Nash and J. Coombe bought the paper from Messrs. F. and D. Pirani, the Manawatu Standard and Pohangina Gazette had a circulation of 3,000 and a staff of 18. Today the circulation is about 22,000, and the Waikato Times and Southland Times just "pip" the Standard from being the largest provincial newspaper in New Zealand. There are over 300 employees and the payroll is more than £5000 a week.

"'Day of Shame' Anti-Apartheid and Anti-Springbok Tour March"

This image was taken (but not used) for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 22 July 1981, with the caption: "Half mast flag marks 'shame' day: Palmerston North's anti-tour protestors marked New Zealand's 'National Day of Shame' with a peaceful march through the central City." The 'Day of Shame' march was the largest of several protest events before and after the Springbok Rubgy team played Manawatū in Palmerston North in 1 August 1981. The March moved from St Patrick's cathedral, down Broadway Avenue, circled the Square, ending in the 'Lion's Den' quadrant. 500 demonstrators began the march but the numbers may have swelled to 1000 by its end. The protesters were occasionally heckled by pro-tour members of the public. March chants included "Don't scrum with racist scum", and "We don't want your racist tour".
