CANVASSERS' JOYS.
The path of the canvasser, may his objects be ever so worthy, is hardly ever one of unbroken smoothness. Rebuffs have to bo taken with the welcomes in a spirit of quiet philosophy if the canvasser's life is not to be wholly miserable or worse still impecunious. It Was then a matter foe general approval when a report was received at yesterday's meeting of the A. and P. Association from the canvassing oom"mittee stating .that a record year's work had been accomplished. Mr Akers, the chairman, mentioned that in his part of the business he had found that the job of a canvasser was no sinecure. Mr T. R. Houder said that he wished to give publicity to the excellent work accomplished by Mr Akers. He had been two or three times to Wellington, and had also spent several days canvassing in the district. Other members also had been indefatigable. Mr Buchanan: It cost me more than I collected. (Laughter). Another member remarked that it was noticeable that particularly large donations had been received from the publichouses this year.
