LOCAL AND GENERAL

A number of residents of Pihama have offered the use of their cars for the purpose of taking the school children to the Hawera show. Before Mr. H. Graves/ J.P., this morning a first offender for drunkenness was fined the amount of his bail, 10s. When arrested the man had in his possession £451 5s 9d. At its last meeting the Palmerston North Borough Councir carried a resolution rescinding a previous motion granting Mr. Peter Eraser, M.P., the use of the Opera House on Thursday night for a lecture on "The Crucifixion of Ireland," on account of some alleged disloyal utterances at a meeting at Levin. The opinion of the borough, solicitor, however, is that the council went beyond its rights in refusing the use of the hall, and it has now been arranged that Mr. Fraser-shall speak there. At a meeting of the Park Bowling Club Committee last night, plans were submitted of a pavilion and adopted, the erection of the building to the proceeded with at once- The president (Mr C. W. Curtis) drew attention 1« a statement made at the annual meeting of the Hawera Club, regarding an application for the loan of their spreader. He said an attack had been made on the veracity of Mr Barnett, who was a resident of New Plymouth, and no doubt that gentleman would have something to say on the matter when he read the report, a copy; of which had been submitted to him. The Stratford correspondent to the Herald says: Writers and speakers on world problems frequently insist upon the interdependence of the nations/and they seek-to show how the good or illfortune of one section of humanity js reflected upon the affairs of others. There would appear to be exceptions to prove the rule, and one such seems to be operating just now in the instance of the disastrous drought in England causing a recovery of the market for New Zealand cheese. I remember well, in the early days of Taranaki dairying, how the only hope of a good price for our summer butter lay in the occurrence1" of a dry spell in New South Wales. Taranaki was anathema to the dairy farmer over there, for our surplus production frequently spoiled.his prospects of. famine prices. At the annual meeting of the Hawera Fire Board yesterday a Jetter was received from the acting-secretary of the •Fire Brigade stating that at the annual conference of the Taranaki District Fire Brigades'' Association the invitation given by the Hawera Fire Brigade to hold the next conference and demonstration in February, 1922, at Hawera was unanimously accepted. The secretary stated that there were 11 brigades in the Association, and in all probability there would be an attendance of 150 firemen. Permission and assistance from the Board were asked for. The Board's reply was to pass a resolution to the effect that per- ', mission would be granted to hod the ; demonstration, and that the Board's members would Tender any assistance I in. their power. i A serious accident occurred om , Thursday on the Mountain Road, El- ' tham, Mrs H. B. Hamlin, who has been staying for a few days with Mrs Walter Wilson, of . Chiselhurst, went out riding with Miss Wlson. " When going along Mountain road, Mrs Hamlin's horse bolted with her. At first Miss Wilson galloped after the bolting horse, then—fearing that the sound of her horse's galloping would still further excite the runaway, she slackened pace. Later on she found Mrs Hamlin lying on the road. At first Mrs Hamlin did not appear to be seriously hurt, but Shoi-tly afterwards she relapsed into a state of unconscious? ness. Upon examination it was found she was suffering from a . fracture of the skull, and up to yesterday afternoon she had not regained consciousness completely.—Argus. Child's Welfare Sunday will be observed at the Methodist Church tomorrow. The morning service will be conducted by the Mayor Hamilton, Mr J. Fow, who is visiting Hawera after an absence of eighteen years. AN IDEAL RESTORATIVE. INDIGESTION AND SLEEPLESS- - . NES. - Dr Cassell's Tablets st; jngthen the whole system, nerves and organs alike.

We are up-to-date enough to have a wireless institute with its headquarters in Stratford, and the first general meeting was held last Tuesday, says the Stratford correspondent of the Herald. There was a very good attendance. Th« address of the president, Mr. T. E. Bridger, was instructive as to the stage reached in regard to the general use of, this,- the latest triumph in the way of annihilating space; He-, dwelt somewhat on the want of encouragement from the Government, which seems disposed, by harassing regulations and restrictions, to kill experiment and invention. The remedy was fb strengthen this and other similar institutes so that representations will carry weight.

At the Male Voice Choir children's competitions on Thursday, at the Opera House, the Mayor (Mr. E. Dixon, M.P.) said that if the evening's attendance —many were unable to gain admittance—were any criterion of the interest taken by the people in such an institution, it was quite evident that a Town Hall was required in Hawera, and in view, of the prospective development it was needed at once. He added that the people had the matter

in their own hands, for they had to foot the bill, -and if they would give the council a lead lie would be very pleased to take the „ matter up with the council. A fairly large sum would be. required, but, he concluded, the question rested entirely in the hands of the people.
