AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATIONS READY TO SERVE EMPIRE! ANNUAL N.I.M.U. CONFERENCE - AUCKLAND, TO-DAY

.- w — On behalf of the many A.A. members who hove joined the Fighting Services the Associations are paying the subscriptions of these members while they are overseas on active service, and in addition are extending the full benefits of membership to a dependent nominated by the member. Members entering military camp in the Territorial forces are likewise being relieved of their financial obligation to their Association during the period they are serving their country in this capacity and a pro rota rebate of subscription is made. To the member of the Automobile Association who remains at home in the comparative safety and comfort assured by our fighting boys, the A.A. looks for continued support to maintain its wartime policy. Some motorists at the outbreak of war felt inclined to lay up their cars—petrol restrictions have not assisted in discouraging this idea—but the average citizen quickly realised that his job, at least for the time being, was to maintain the normal life of the community and to the best of his or her ability to maintain those organisations and institutions which are of value to the Dominion. To such an extent have Automobile Association members supported the wartime efforts of their Association that A.A. membership to-day is stronger than pre-war. The A.A. movement is nationalised through the North and South Island Motor Unions and the Associations confidently appeal to their members to stand by their organisations, which have proved a friend in peace time and which now, in the hour of need, coll on their members ?o ~)*><nrain their strength and efficiency to the highest pitch possible. Maintain A.A. Membership— strengthen the A.A. To-day's meeting is the Annual Conference of the North Island Motor Union, which comprises the eight Automobile Associations operating in their respective territories within the North Island. This Conference is : held to discuss matters of mutual and national interest, to unify the efforts I of the Associations and co-ordinate their activities so as to provide a com- J plete chein of service throughout the country. \

AUCKLAND WELCOMES DELEGATES TO 1940 NATIONAL CONFERENCE. Britain's decision to challenge Nazi domination and oppression saw New Zealand enter the conflict side by side with her sister Dominions. The Automobile Associations quickly responded to the call and offered to place at the disposal of the Government the entire organisation of the North and South Island Motor Unions—ls Automobile Associations—their highly efficient and specialised staffs and the motor transport and service controlled by its members throughout the length and breadth of the Dominion. At the Annual Conference of the Motor Union held on the outbreak of war the delegates from each Automobile Association solemnly pledged that the whole of the Union's organisation, efforts and power would be exerted in support of the common cause of the British Empire. To-day the highly organised force of the Automobile Association stands ready and willing to serve in any capacity required by the Government. There has been no relaxation of effort during the war period—A.A. service has been maintained to the fullest degree possible—it has even been enlarged in a splendid effort to maintain its sphere of the normal life of the community, an essential objective to stabilise the morale of the civilian population. It is believed that such an extensive organisation as the combined Automobile Associations of New Zealand would be of inestimable value to this Dominion in the event of a national emergency, and therefore they are straining every nerve to be fully prepared to respond to the call if and when it should come. As a further contribution to the war effort, the North and the South Island Motor Unions jointly, on behalf of the combined Automobile Associations, have offered the military authorities two fully -equipped field ambulances.

Each chose his insurance company "■•- v corefully # weighed cost, reputation, and record of service. Each decided on N.I.M.U. because it offered prompt, generous claims settlements—a 24-hour country-wide service—at the lowest rates in the world. Every ,RI.M.U. policy-holder is a part-owner in the largest New Zealand company devoted solely to motor insurance and shares in all surplus profits. N.I.M.U. is an A.A. unit—a co-operative organisation pledged to serve motorists' interests only. It is officially and whole-heartedly recommended by the A.A. (Auckland), Inc., to members.

is the only thing in wartime that is more valuable without being more costly. The spirit of cheerfulness has never had anything to do with a man's circumstances, but it has everything to do with the man. Good business makes people cheerful— and cheerful people make business good. N.I.M.U. has always been a consistent sponsor of cheerfulness among a great body of New Zealand motorists. To-day one in every three North Island motorists is cheerful because he has the best motor insurance investment in the world
