j UNDER GUARD J A UNIQUE PROPOSAL. -1 JUDGE AT BAND CONTESTS. s SHORT SHRIFT FOR REMIT. 1 “That when a judge has entered his . tent before the draw takes place, a rj policeman be placed in charge of the tent, and no official whatever be al- . lowed within 10 yards of the tent dur- ; ing the contest.” r The foregoing remit was put before the executive of the North Island j Brass Bands’ Association at Wangap nui on Friday, The executive’s rccom- . mendation that no action be tpken was considered by the Association at I its annual meeting on Friday night. “If we support such a remit we will r be going back to prehistoric times/’ r said the president (Mr. G. R. B. Holjben). J “If we haven’t confidence in the judges and officials we appoint, then j we might as well close down.” Continuing, the chairman said they j all knew that occasions arose when the judge must get into touch with the supervisor of the contest. It would be disgraceful to adopt this recommendation, which would be a reflection on , those controlling every band contest. Mr. Hall explained that the man responsible for the remit was not accusI tomed to colonial conditions. I The recommendation that no action be taken was adopted without dissent.
