In remembrance of the "old boys", who have fallen at -the front, the monument to their memory at the Roseneath School was to-day draped with tho Union Jack, and a laurel wreath was placed at the base. Before Mr. R. D. Hanlon, J.P., at the Mount Cook Police Court to-day, Charles Anderson and Olai Hansen were charged with drunkenness. Each was fined 20s, in default 48 hours' imprisonment. A first offender was ordered to pay ss, or ■go to gaol for 24 hours. Tho display of tho Government Printing Office in the Peace celebration procession on Saturday was a Union Jack, 27ft. by 18ft. "Our idea," writes the Chairman of the Office Committee, "was to boost the great flag that brought victory to us, but the public started throwing coins in it—ranging from halfpennies to halfcrowns—and we had no way of preventing them. The sum collected amounts to £30, and we have decided to band that amount over to .the Deceased Soldiers' Children's Fund."
