There was a. good •atteiid'auce at the Hiwinui School picnic, which was held in. the school grounds yesterday. Tho weather was beautifully fine, and a really cin.joya.ble time was spent.

Hills, a.nd Greeiuhow), with the assistance of the headmaster (Mr Da-' v'o), organised games and races for the children and adults, and kept the fun goiing all day.

Speaking at the meeting of the Wellington. AVar Relief Association, the Ghairniau/ (Mr AA'. Ferguson) said: "Many returned men were being discharged from the forces before they were .fit to- go to work. They had had to _pay a hospital bill for one such m>an. ""The Defence Department gave these partially-recovered men a very job suit of clothes, and then sent them out." "... Salary £300 a year. Apply in own handwriting to ,

stating 'qualifications.'" How often do we see an advertisement suon aa this, and how many of our young men would make application for such a position but for that word "qualification" ? There's no reason why it should be so when it takes but -a short, time for any ambitious young man, to qualify. The young man who doesn't care tells his friend that' someone is "sorted out" for the job, and it would be useless to try for it. If any one in Feilding or the surrounding districts takes the trouble to see Air W. H. Hemingway, the Managing Director of Hemingway and Kotwtson's Correspondence Schools of Auckland, a man who has had the pleasure of putting hundredis of young .men and women in the way of getting good positions, he will tell them frankly how* theso young men. .and women have ''made good." See him. or see Mr Rich, the School's travelling representative, and find out for yourself. It costs nothing to find out, aaid by doing so you will save yourself many anxious hours, because our great financiers have warned us that when the war is over "business is sure lo " tighten up," and that means that only the qualified men and women will be wanted. AVhen wo say qualified'we mean those who know what business is—tho underlying: principles of business: those who can show their employers a. profit on their employment. If yon are not qualified, no matter what your occupation is, rest assured that the day will come when you will say: "I had the chance, but let it slide." A r ou m-ay want a. little amusement, but that won't see you through life. Make sure of the future, and then you can enjoy yourself. Hemingway and Robertson have courses in tho" following: Accountancy, Bookkeeping. Law, Teachers' Exams.. Matriculation. Areliitccliuro. Shorthand, Advertisement Wi-iling. Complete Business Training.
