THE BLACK-OUT
POSITION IN TAURANGA
QUESTION IN PARLIAMENT
In Parliament Mr F. W. Doidge MP., gave notice to ask the Minister of National Service, whetliei some degree of uniformity cannol be devised in what are known as the "black-out" regulations enforced under the- Emergency Precautions Scheme. "In Tauranga," said Mr Doidge, "the whole town is nightly thrown into an inky darkness as the result of a complete black-out. An officer of the department recently visited the town at the request ■« of the borough, but refused to grant any concession whatever. When this official's report was presented to the Tauranga Borough Council the position was described as a straight out farce, and the Mayor reported how in Auckland he had seen wharv.es and shipping a blaze of floodlights." —Times.
