Seas in New Zealand waters rough about Foveaux Strait and rather rough on all West Coast localities; elsewhere moderate. Eastern Tasman Sea: Moderate south-west winds and moderate seas in the northern portion; freshening west to north-west winds, with rough seas, in die southern portion. Weather for the most part fair to fine, but some isolated showers at first in the South Island; later, conditions becoming unsettled again in Westland, with rain developing. Temperatures cool tonight, but becoming warmer again from to-morrow.

A most attractive programme of running, cycling, piping and Highland dancing events has been arranged for the Browns sports to-day. Not the least of the attractions at this meeting will be the presence of Mr Tom Pettit, exworld champion sawyer and axeman. Mr Pettit has stated that he is keen to see a New Zealand sports meeting, and the Browns fixture should in every way prove a worthy example of the best type of professional sports meeting.

The opportunity was taken on Monday evening at the Congregational Church, Gore, to extend a welcome to the new minister of the charge, the Rev. K. A. Bell. Mr W. Stevenson presided over a large gathering. Several speakers welcomed Mr Bell to the town and wished him success. In the course of a humorous and able reply, Mr Bell thanked everyone present for the welcome extended him. The following items were rendered during the evening: Organ solo, Mr T. R. Chisholm; concertina items, Captain Morley ; solos, Messrs R. L, Stevenson, A. Gallie and Keith Chisholm.

A; the conclusion of the first meeting of the new year of the Winton Borough Council on Friday evening last, a pleasant function took place, when at the invitation of Councillor H. Cooper and Mrs Cooper, the Mayor, members of the council, the Town Clerk (Miss I. G. Russell) and Press representatives visited the former’s home, where they were entertained at supper. After an enjoyable hour, the opportunity was taken by his Worship the Mayor, Mr Thomas Walker, of expressing appreciation of the kindly thought of Mr and Mrs Cooper, and tendered the best wishes of those present for a long, happy and prosperous future.

An interesting and somewhat alarming sidelight on the problems which faced the Government when the first wave of economic depression hit the Dominion were given by the Minister for Education (the Hon. S. G. Smith) in political reminiscences contained in his speech at a civic reception in his honour at New Plymouth last week (states the Taranaki Daily News). In the days of the drafting of the first Unemployment Bill, he said, when the Government was faced by the unprecedented problem of providing relief work for 35,000 unemployed, so near had the country been to bankruptcy that the Government had seriously considered the outright discharge of no fewer than 10,000 civil servants, because it was doubtful if there would be enough moijey in the Treasury to pay them. r
