ANNOUNCEMENT PREMATURE
WELLINGTON, April 4. Referring to the Christchurch telegram concerning the proposed Y.M.C.A. hut for boys Mr,R. M. Brasted, national secretary of the association, says the announcement is a trifle premature. The subject was discussed at the national convention of the Y.M.C.A. at Christchurch, but it was not decided where the hut should he erected. The idea to erect a hut on the lines of those used during the Great War for boys’ work was being cpnsidered. There was scope for this class of work between Petone and Hntt. Nothing was finalised at the convention,' however.
