HUTT ELECTORS |: Your Vote Is Precious — Don't Waste It? ij i" Hutt Electors, especially, have good reason to use their votes ij ■J to the best effect on September 25th, Since Mr. Nash went to \ M ■ [■ Washington all the Hutt Electors have had in Parliament has ,■ 3j. been a vacant chair.

TONIGHT his main subject will be the presentation of the Auditor-General's report for 1942-43. It is a tragic, account of departmental bungling and blundering. The record of misappropriations and thefts is enough to make Ked Kelly turn in his grave for sheer envy! In the list of subsidies-, why was TEA not mentioned. You,4ell me! .• ■'& . E. €.: JB¥SSEEL ' { THE INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE ; THE MAN AS I KNOW HIM WILL APPLETON National Candidate for WELLINGTON CENTRAL ; ■ j? . x ABOUT 20 years ago I met Will Appleton for the first time. I had taken over the management of what is to-day one of -Wellington's leading industries. ;At the outset we had a difference of opinion over one aspect of ~' the firm's operations—a field in which, I must confess, he ; had special knowledge. After two hours, —he was most tenacious—by which time both of us had conceded certain points, we came to an amicable settlement with mutual respect for each other. ■ ' So impressed was I with Mr. Appleton's broad-mind-edness and grip of business conditions generally, that when he retired from his old firm I arranged for him to join our board of directors. He has been with us ever since and has rendered valuable aid in the way of counsel , and advice. I vouch for his integrity and trustworthiness. ..''.... *■ # * * -.■'■'■ AS a result of the friendship which developed I met his family. His wife is a reserved but charming personality. At the outbreak of war she was appointed a member of the Mayoress's Patriotic Committee and convenor of the Wool. Section. Ever since, except when she has been ill, or away from Wellington, she has done this work every Tuesday, and is known as a real worker to hundreds of self-sacrificing knitters. On Thursdays Mrs. Appleton with a band of women volunteers, usually spends the day packing parcels for-despatch overseas on behalf of the Patriotic Fund Board. The'Appletons have a family of five—four boys and a girl. All four boys are in the Services, three overseas. : The eldest, a V.M.C.A. Secretary, was one of the first fco enlist, but on medical grounds has had to stop in the Dominion. The second lad went with the Ist Echelon and after serving as a motor driver with the Desert Patrol in Libya, went to Greece and Crete where he was eventually • captured. Reported missing for many months he finally ' turned up a prisoner of war in Germany. The third lad is in New Caledonia, while the youngest is a Flying Officer in the N.Z. Typhoon Squadron. The girl is still a student at Queen Margaret College. One could not wish to find a more devoted family. # # # * SOME eleven years ago Mr. Appleton transferred the . > balance of his interest in the firm he helped to develop, The Charles Haines Advertising Agency Ltd., to members of his staff on liberal terms, because of his ideal of devoting most of his time and energies to public affairs.* For many years he had conducted the concern on a profit-sharing basis. Apparently he worked on the .plan "if your public interests interfere with your business, life, and you can possibly afford to do so, give up the business." In any case, he has been connected with public bodies including the Hospital Board, City Council, Harbour Board and Technical College for close on 30 years, - and the appreciation of Wellington citizens has been well, shown in his continued election, usually near the top of the poll. You can take it from me that Will Appleton well deserves your support as a candidate for Parliament. • Apart front being a qualified Accountant with the highest academic degrees, he is a trained business man who has won his spurs in the best school of all—experience. . Mr. Appleton has always before him the ideal of happy family life and the application of Christian principles as the basis of national well-being. If elected he can be " depended upon to work for the true welfare of the people in the spirit of real democratic freedom, for which your sons and his are fighting.
