LOCAL AND GENERAL.

The Whangarei Dairy Company has taken delivery of a new Republic motor truck to be used on the cream collecting rtin to the Whareora 'district. This change 'from' horse-drawn wagons has been made possible as the outcome or ..the ■ marked improvement in the state of the roads traversed. ' : .

: Now that the oratorio is over the Waiata Society's Male Choir will resume its regular practices, beginning tomorrow at 7.30 p.m. ; The Presbyterian Hall will be the usual practice room, but tomorrow's practice will take place in the new Foresters' Hall, oft Rust Lane. Old members and all who wish to join the choir are asked to attend.

Tomorrow evening the Gloombusters' Club will hold a ladies' night at the Y.M.C.A., and an especially good musical programme, including items by the orchestra and 'cello solos, has been arranged. An appeal was made to the Rotary Club to appoint a speaker to address the .meeting for twenty minutes, and in conformity with the Rotarian motto "Service before self," that body at yesterday's gathering appointed Mr. A. H. Curtis as its representative to towards the objects of dispelling gloom and disseminating joy.

■Amongst the assets disclosed on the balance sheet of the Whangarei subXirovincial executive of the New Zealand Farmers' Union, which was presented to the annual meeting this morning, were cheques for £13 due to Waipu branch, £3 to Titoki, and 7s 6d to Hukerenui. The secretary, Mr. F. W. Webster, stated that these represented cheques drawn some two years ago, bnt not presented for payment. In the two cases first mentioned the branches to which the amounts were due had become defunct, and he therefore suggested that the amounts be written off to profit and loss account, rather than continue showing them on the balance sheet annually as separate items, especially as the cheques were stale. The treasurer, Mr. G. A. Storrar, favoured creation of separate suspense accounts so that the amounts could be retained as a nucleus of funds should branches bo resuscitated in the districts affected. Mr. Webster held, however, that if the liability were retained in a profit and loss account it would be purely a matter for the subnrovincial executive to pass a credit to a resuscitated branch at anv time if it desired to do so, as he had no doubt, it would. The motion to transfer the amounts to r>rofit and loss account was then carried.
