R.S.A. MEMBERSHIP These are days of unprecedented rush and bustle at Auckland R.S.A. headquarters (still at Wellesley Street). Never before has such a consistent stream of members calling at the office to pay their subs, been dealt with as since the present year opened on April 1. Up to vesterday just on 4000 members had made themselves financial for the current year, anrt of that number approximately '1000 were men of the present war. Probably the most harassed member of the staff is Mr. W. S. Turner, "Tubby" to all and sundry, who is the outside representative of the association and is in daily demand from all parts of the city and all kinds and conditions of firms and factories.
