3 Attend War Memorial Meeting
Consideration of plans for a Whangarei war memorial was deferred until next Monday when the Whangarei War Memorial Committee met last night ' It was considered advisable to allow members another week in which to make investigations into a proposal the town can afford. The chairman, the Mayor of Whangarei (Mr Jones) presided over an attendance of Messrs T. H. Busck and H. W. James. Mr Jones stated that he had experienced difficulty in obtaining the services of a secretary for the committee. At a meeting of the Whangarei Progressive Society last night a discussion on the war memorial was taken in committee.
In one of the best wrestling bouts seen in Napier, the British Empire champion, Earl McCready (17.6), beat Eric Holmbeck (iai2), on points on Saturday night. The bout was rugged throughout eight rounds. Holmbeck gained a fall in the fifth round, following elbow jolts and three solid dumps, ending with a body press. McCready equalised in the seventh with two dunips, followed by a body press.
