LOCAL AND GENERAL

"This Country Party is an ; excretion on the body politic,” stid Mr. Allen Bell. M.P. at . Kaitaia last Monday ni&ht, i Read the 7th chapter of the history of the Creat War in this issue—The Russian | dash for Berlin. A local politician’s kit of tools—bluff and soft soap. The lather isapplied with a trowel. Make a note of it. Confetti and strea- 1 mer dance Awanui Hail on Friday, 23rd | inst. The new factory at Awanui will be ©fficially opened on November I2th. The latest gag in Commerce St.—“ Are j you one of those ?” When Mr. Bell publishes the return • showing full particulars concerning the ! purchase of soldier and other lands by the j Government he will probably precipitate , the biggest political scandal New Zealand ' has known. Up to the present the Gov- : eminent have refused point blank to j furnish this return, but since Mr. Bell has ! promised to get it, no doubt it will be got. j No one could believe that Mr. Bell would promise to do thing and then break that promise.

I i “The Country Party is allied with the I ; forces ol Communism Socialism and revoiution working against the Go/eminent,” j ( declared Mr. Allen Bell M.P. at his Kaitaia meeting on Monday night. Girl is wanted for housework. At his meeting on Monday night Mr. Bell forgot many things. For instance, , he completely overlooked telling his audience that during the past two years the Reform Government has taken £2,221,456 off the taxation of wealthy financial institutions and put an extra £2,315,926 taxation onto the small farmer and wage j earner in the form of increased Customs taxation. St. iscf/iour’s Comedy Club staged “1 he : Priyate Secretary" at Awanui last Thurs- ! day night. Pans have now been allotted j for the ever-green “Charlie’s Aunt" which j will be staged early next year. When asked at his Kaitaia meeting on \ Monday if he was familiar with the Kauri j Gum Control Act Mr. Bell airily exclaim- 1 ed, “I wrote it," but when asked for j information on different points he showed ' a profound ignorance of the Act. All he j seems to know is that the Bill is law, hut ! whether it will be a success or otherwise j he does not know. Bricklaying and plastering undertakes and completed at reasonable rates—G. Cameren, Kaitaia opposite Central Hotel. The Pukepoto sale of work in aid of the organ fund realised £ls. The organiser wish to thank all who helped. It is not strictly correct to say that the. vote of thanks and confidence at Mr Beli’s meeting on Monday night was carried unanimonsly. Quite a number were too tickled to vote. A reminder is given of the Rev. Fletcher’s address at Kaitaia on Tuesday next. The meeting wiil be held in the Northland Hall. “The police are sick of trying to ge juries to convict bookmakers," said Mr. Bell on Monday night, and are giving it up. “There is a tremendous volume of

betting being done with the books.’’ A voice: “What is the Reform Government doing to enforce the law ?’’ The New Hupmobile is the last word in motor cars. The design of engine and strength of chasis are unsurpassed and the body work and general fittings will please the most fastidious—N. A. Farmers Co-op* Kaitaia, local agents. There was a good deal of hypocrisy in Mr. Bell’s references to the late Prime Minister at his meeting oa Monday night. As editor of the Northlander early this year Mr. Beil alluded to the late statesman in disparging terras such as “Puke william” Mr. Beli’ll belated tears seem like crocodile tears. Mr. Bell stated at his meeting on Monday night that he did not believe the Government meddling in commercial enterprises. What about our railways, post and telegraph service, State insurance etc., etc.,? Will Mr. Bell say a “mess" is being niarjp .of these ? The Kaitaia Chamber of Commerce wi]| ipld the annual picnic a.ii excursion to me Ninety i\fde beach on Monday October 26th. Last year the outing was a great success and the committee hope to make this year’s function equally successful. An appeal is made to car and lorry owners to assist by carrying passengers to the beach. Before you decide on a motor cycle get particulars of the famous Douglas vibrationless twin.

The V.V. | ‘ i A.S.C. animal fixture is probably the ■ biggest athletic carnival north of Auckland. Unfortunately, the meeting lapsed , ] I last year owing to health restrictions. . Among other important questions to decide on the 31st is the advisability of hold- . ing the sports during iV: X a as holidays * j instead of march as hitherto. j'<
