A letter was received from the Inangahua branch at the farmers’ meeting yesterday in reference to a remit which had been turned down at the last quarterly meeting. ’The wrote as follows:—“I am instructed to submit to you the enclosed example 1 of offenders being ordered out of town. One of our members who has to go out working to make up the deficiency from the farm, stated that no fewer than five tramps in one week called on his wife for food, and when the men folk were absent from home it is risky 1 io refuse their request.” We trust that representations will be made to the right quarters to have this practise stopped. Mr. Ditely asked where did the men go who were ordered out of the town? The Secretary: “The former remit from Inangahua contended that they go to the country and pest the farmer.” Mr. Roud said that the tramps might be some farmers out of work. The letter was received, and no action taken in the matter.

The West Coast Farmers’ Union Executive at yesterday’s mectin<r received a remit from Hari Hari Branch which suggested that it be a recommefndation to the Provincial Execu* ' tire to request the Dominion quart- ’ (rly meeting to demand dental treatI me*nt for country children in the form of a travelling detotal clinic or any service equal to that given in the towns as the< need is greater n the coutotry schools owing to the lack cf ordinary sendee. Mr. O’Brien, who was present by invitation, spoke in support of thH rem't. He said child run should not be penalised. He had brought the matter before the Government. A travelling v.’l'nic was a success in Queensland. The New Zealand Government were noting on a suggestion to do ISke’W’se. To set irp a clinic for each of the small schools would need a great sum of moaeyV The nurses instruments were easy to- take about and the whol c lot could be put into a motor car. A van would probably meet the case as long as they would have children in outback distr cts to attend to. Mr. A. Rjd?r, in suppori of ihe remit, said country people were penalised in having to bring their children to town. Il was nut a great hardship for nurses to go out to the country and the child ren required attention like the town children. Mr. O’Neill: said a promise had Loen received ih|at. the country d Mricts would ueceivc attention. The
