What promises to provide most enjoyable entertainment is the Royal Scottish Concert to be staged by the St. Andrew’s Scottish Society tomorrow evening in the Civic Theatre.

The Male Choir (60 voices) is to give “Scots Wha Hae,” there will be selections by the Caledonian Pipe Band and items by talented performers always in demand at local concerts. It should be a night right “out of the box.”

In an article entitled “The Outlook for Forests” Mr Arnold Hansson, 8.A., states: “Canada and the United States have nowhere the timber volumes which certain classes of the community try to suggest. The present export of timber from these countries will have ceased five years from now, and the countries themselves will be in a very unenviable position as regards soft wood supplies.” . Many New Zealanders are astonished to learn that U.S.A, imports approximately £127,000,000 worth of pulp, paper and pulp wood per annum. There is a large export market awaiting the products of the forests established by N.Z. Perpetual Forests, Ltd.—Advt.
