WEDDING OF INTEREST

SIMPSON—SALAMAN The marriage of Mrs. A. W. M. Salaman, of New Plymouth, to Mr. Kwong Simpson, late of Auckland, now of New Plymouth, was recently celebrated quietly at the bride's own home in New Plymouth. The bride wore a fawn frock of Chinese material, chung-sue-sum, and a beige straw hat and Chinese accessories to match. She was attended by Miss Asher Salaman, who wore a frock of blue sue and hat to match, and carried a bouquet of orchids and asters. After a reception at the house the bride and bridegroom left for Palmerston North to make an extensive tour of New Zealand by air. As Mr. Simpson is well known throughout the Dominion, considerable interest will attach to the Chinese reception which will be given the bride and bridegroom on their return to New Plymouth, where they will reside.

CHINESE FINED £75

HIGH PRICE OF OINTMENT A fine of £75 was imposed on Kwong Simpson, aged 42, Chinese herbalist, in the Police Court yesterday, by Mr. F. H. Levien, S.M", on a charge of selling a 2oz pot of catarrhal ointment at an unreasonably high price. Mr. Trevor Henry represented the defendant, who pleaded not guilty. The charge was brought under the Board of Trade Act, and was the subject of a reserved decision.

Mr. Levien said he had taken into account a statement by the Government Analyst, Mr. K. M. Griffin, that the ointment could have been dispensed for 3/ and that his analysis of the ointment bore no resemblance to the prescription. Moreover, defendant had been unable to reconcile various methods he had given for preparing ointment. Auckland Star, Volume LXXII, Issue 280, 26 November 1941, Page 8
