Anniversary Celebrations Despite tho very inclement weather, the 48th anniversary celebrations of the local corps of tho Salvation Army, on Sunday, were successful. Major J. Nelson, of Wellington, was the special officer for the occasion, and he was assisted by Captain L. H. Jones. The addresses by Major Nelson were greatly appreciated. A delightful Maori concert was held last evening. War Relief Loans Discontinuance of loans to former soldiers was urged at the annual meeting, at Napier, of the Hawke's Bay Relief Association, but the proposal was considered too drastic. Mr. Wm. Galbraith (Woodville delegate) said that with the present limit oi loans, the assistance given was small, and he was satisfied that it could bo obtained from outside. The funds were now dwindling, and should be conserved for the making of grants where assistance was required. The chairman assured delegates that members of the executive would give careful consideration to the views expressed.
