SCOUT WAR EFFORT
MANUFACTURE OF ROPE NETS UNDERTAKEN [United Press Association] WELLINGTON, This Day. Wellington Boy Scouts are undertaking the manufacture of rope nets for military use in the Dominion, as a special war effort. At the week-end representatives of all city and suburban troops paraded for instruction at the Winter Show Building, under the Metropolitan Commissioner, Mr P. T. Smither. Commissioner Smither said that from the outbreak of war the scouts had offered their services for war work and had been employed on various jobs, but they had always wanted a task on which they could concentrate their efforts, and they felt that need had now been met with the net making. The work is easy to learn, and it is expected that a good output of nets will be maintained.
