A delicious intermission treat awaited Levin cinema patrons with the tasty sounding 'Bonza Bars' stocked in the theatre milk bar! There were many local ice cream companies in New Zealand in the 1920s-1960s and cinemas were among their biggest customers.

The use of the term 'milk bar' places this slide around the 1950s- the 'milk bars' predated today's cafes and were popular places for a chat and a snack. Many companies used the name 'Alpine' for their chilly snacks and it is unclear if the Levin Ice Cream Company had any link with other manufacturers.

The slide itself would have been shown during intermission- just enough time to nip to the concession counter or work up an appetite for when an usher arrived with a tray of treats for sale.

1) Badminton forging ahead as sport in Horowhenua.

2) Levin Junior Chamber of commerce uphold it's aim and object.

An organisation which has become highly esteemed for its willingness to assist any good cause and promote the welfare and progress of the town is the Levin Junior Chamber of Commerce. Since it was formed in 1946 the town has had ample of evidence that it is upholding the ideals of its badge which stand for "Service" and "Action".

3) Girls marching proves popular local sport.

Girls' marching, New Zealand's own most colourful sport - it is claimed that in no other field do performers look so neat and spectacular when competing - was introduced to Levin and district some 10 years ago when three teams, K.B.H., Macduffs and Alpine, from Levin and Shannon marched.

4) Oxford Street trees planted in Queen Victoria's Reign.

Levin's earliest settlers must pause and gaze regretfully when they see the gaps which are increasing yearly in the rows of trees which line both sides of the main section of Oxford Street.
