Notes of the Day

Dr. Kenneth G. Salmond, who has returned from service with the Forces overseas, has resumed his practice in Feilding. The death occurred at Feilding yesterday of a very well known figure in the motor trade in the person of Mr. Charles E. Robinson, of Robinson Motors. The late Mr. Robinson has been associated with the motor trade over a long period of years* at one time representing overseas interests and latterly being associated with Currie Bros., road transport operators.

When the appeal of a motor mechanic was before the Armed Forces Appeal Board at Feilding yesterday counsel for reservist (Mr. J. Graham) outlined the position and at the close of his remarks the Crown representative (Mr. Worthington) waived his right to examine appellant and stated that reservist was a skilled mechanic who could not be replaced. The appeal was accordingly adjourned sine die. "X am unable to marshall any evidence iin support of this appeal,” stated the Crown representative (Mr. Worthington) at a sitting of the Armed forces Appeal Board at Feilding yesterday when dealing with the case of a farmer who sought the release from the Armed Forces of a son to assist on the farm. He went on to say that the Army auuiorities opposed the re lease of the reservist, while the district primary production committee was unable to support the appeal and said that in its opinion there was sufficient labour on the farm to meet the situation. The appeal was accordingly dismissed. An address was given to a large attendance in the Methodist Hall, Feilding, by Mrs. E. Dowsett, of Auckland, her subject being “Spiritual Healing.” Mrs. Dowsett is the founder of the House of Prayer, Auckland, and is at present on a tour ot the North Island, accompanied by Miss Mary Pascoe. The speaker opened her address with two Scriptuai readings containing a prophecy regarding the coming of the Redeemer and its fulfilment. She said that 20 years of ministry had proved to her that health for the' body as well as the soul was the great need of the human race. Youth to-day was in a particularly bad state owing to the souldestroying and body-destroying conditions surrounding it, and it was the duty of parents and teachers to give it the necessary protection and guidance. Miss Helen Cornfoot entertained to supper visitors from the surrounding districts.
