Further developments in the flaxmill industry in the Manawatu district, which is held up at present owing to the refusal of the union to accept the 10 per cent, wage reduction recommended by the Conciliation Commissioner, should take place shortly.

“There are now 10 dental officers and 84 dental nurses employed by the Health Department in connection with the school dental clinics,” said the Minister of Health (Mr J. A. Young), when addressing a Frankton audience. Mr Young said he would not be satisfied until the Department had at least 300 nurses in the field in order to cope with all the work that was offering. It was the policy of the Government to carry on the service not only to the 200,000 children in the State primary schools, but to all other children, irrespective of what school they might attend. No country in ttye world had attempted so much in the matter of dental treatment for its school children as had been taken in hand by the New Zealand Government.

Cruickshank, S.M. Senior-Sergeant Fox explained that on the evening in question Mr Smith had sent his boy to a store on an errand. He had heard screams and on investigating found that the defendant was terrorizing the boy. The father remonstrated and received a punch on the jaw.

LET THE BOOZE GANG ANSWER. i 1 The liquor profiteers fooled the people ! of Ohinemuri into voting Restoration last • poll. The Magistrates’ Courts returns show that since the open bar began again the ' following ANNUAL INCREASES IN OF- ( FENCES HAVE TAKEN PLACE:— Increased Per cent. Per annum. Summary Convictions . . .151.6 Assaults and other offences . . 129.5 5 Drunk, including habitual drunkards 275.0 Prohibition orders .... 390.1 All other offences .... 113.6 ’ Distinct Summary Convictions . 130.7 3 These figures have been repeatedly published, and the liquor traffic haS repeatedly 5 been invited to challenge, explain or dis- ' cuss them. BUT THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC ’ ALWAYS RUNS AWAY. ; NOW LET THE BOOZE GANG ANSWER—ARE THESE FIGURES CORRECT ; OR NOT? There is no dodging those results. The people are the same, the place is the same, the only change was the opening of the 3 bars again. Isn’t that list warning enough [ for any right-minded citizen? 5 Drunkenness increases mean bad debts i for trades, increased loss in the houses, neglected children, squalor and misery. r You can no more build prosperity on the . liquor bar than you can build a skyscraper t on a heap of sand. j Keep the parasite of all trades out. Don’t ) be fooled by liquor trade bunkum. They . wait to come here for profit, and they can only get their profit by taking away some of the profits from those engaged in useful , trades. 1 VOTE LOCAL NO-LICENSE. —Advt.
