la an indoor bowling match for a rose-bowl this week, seven rinks from the friendly societies of Palmerston North met representatives from the Wanganui Indoor Bowls Association and tvere defeated in live games. The results are as follow, Wanganui skips being mentioned first in each instance: Smith 14, v. Farrar 17; H. Harris 22, v. Stewart 11; Wilson 35, v. Anderson 11; Bennett IS, v. Hancock 12; Hanton 1.4, v. Edwards 21; Gordon 27, v. Cox 10; W. Harris 24, v. Christiansen 21. While the matter has not been lost from sight, no action lias yet been taken to appoint a town planner in succession to Mr J. W. Mawson, who retired two years ago. Some branches of the Town Planning Institute, as well as others interested, have lately been critical of the present position, declaring that, without a town planner, the Town Planning Act was a dead letter. When discussing the matter the Minister of Internal Affairs said that although there was no town planner at present, it did not mean that the Act was a dead letter. Several local bodies were preparing regional schemes, and if il were necessary to obtain expert advice this could bo obtained in New Zealand. Part of the trouble in the Balkans is that a country is there which doesn’t show on the maps —Macedonia.
