1) Dairy industry's contribution to growth. Town and country are welded by dual co-operation and aid.

Playing a big part in the development of this district are the Co-operative dairy factories - The Levin Co-operatve Dairy Company and the Kuku-Manakau Co-operative Dairy Company. Both have contributed much to the dairy wealth of this area and the economy of the country generally.

2) Farmer with vision.

Mr. J. W. Reading, who had a farm on the corner of Queen Street and Arapaepae Road was one the first local farmers to have a cream separator, and the neighbours used to take their milk along to him to be separated.

1) To "fix" those "furious drivers". County actually proposed to fix broken bottles in road metal.

A proposal to "metal" some corners with broken beer bottles was seriously suggested 50 years ago in a bid to stop erratic and dangerous drivers of motor-cars who persisted in taking corners at a faster speed than walking pace.

2) Water made Levin.

A barometer hangs in the hall of the home of the late Mr. James Prouse. Inscribed on a silver plate are these words: "Presented to J. Prouse by the residents of Levin for his services in the promotion of the water race scheme". It is dated September 15, 1902.

3) Days when Weraroa was proud centre of the district.

It is hard to believe that Mrs. Kingsbeer is 72 years of age. Her actions and looks belie it. Mrs. Kingsbeer was a Miss Rush, whose brother Cyril, came to Levin in 1896 and married a Miss Tantrum. From then until about 1900 Mrs. Kingsbeer spent most of her years here, living at Weraroa, close to where she now resides.

1) Racing - from earliest days.

Hoofbeats on the turf have always had a strong appeal and no more so than in the early days when the enjoyment was, perhaps, even greater.

2) Old rivalry between Levin and Weraroa still exists.

Confusing to strangers passing through Levin by rail is the name "Weraroa" on the Post Office immediately opposite the Levin Railway Station. It seems strange that Levin should have a "suburb".
