Mr. J. A. Lee, M.P., has been' added to the committee set up to inquire into the cinematograph film industry. —P.A. Reports from English recipients of gift parcels of butter appoared to indicate that these pats were superior to the New Zealand butter obtainable in the shops and the question was asked at a Dannevirke meeting why, if this was so, all the butter exported was not done up in pats. Mr. VV. A. lorns, chairman of the Dairy Produce Board, replying, stated that the multiple shops —and there wore thousands of them—would not buy the patted butter. They liked to put their own wrappers on it. If it were all labelled alike they would lie deprived of the competition for their special, brand. One might label it “Clover,” another some other name, but it was all the same butter. They could not ignore the multiple stores; thero were' too many of them, and as a matter of fact the gift parcels were nfct patted mid wrapped in New Zealand. The order to do that was given to a reliable firm handling New Zealand butter.
