Returned Soldiers’ Association
The Returned Soldiers’ Association met last night in the Anzae Club, Captain MacDonncll presiding. Tho minutes of tho previous meeting were read and adopted. A letter was read from the Second Division League in regard to res nations passed at the last Returned Soldiers’ Association Conference at Auckland. Colonel McDonald thought that the Association should recognise the good that had been done by the Second Division League in regard to securing benefits for soldiers and their dependents. Ho moved accordingly. Mr Haycock seconded and stated that he believed th e resolution passed at Auckland was too condemnatory of the Second Division League and was not justified by the facts. Considerable discussion ensued and finally tho resolution was carried unanimously. Tho following were admitted to membership: —Messrs S. Munro, T. Wall, G. D. Powric, L. S'. Curtis, R. W. Priest, E. Downs, and S. Print. The chairman moved that the Association donate something from the proceeds of their socials for the Soldiers' ■Christmas Parcel Fund. This was agreed to and the sum of £lO was voted for this purpose.
