According to a well-known fields expert, Mr H. Woodyear-Smith, the Government has not granted sufficient funds for the Government entomologist to carry on investigation concerning the control of the grass grub and the diamond-backed moth. A statement to this effect was made by Mr. A. H. Dukeson at a recent meeting of the Putaruru Chamber of Commerce. By the expenditure of o a few hundred pounds, he said, the country might be saved thousands. Without discussion the chamber decided to make representations to the Minister of Agriculture and to the Associated Chambers of Commerce, asking for an additional grant of £lOOO for use by the entomologist in the coming financial year.

Five hundred men, women, and girls waited recently outside a Hereford street office to apply for fifteen jobs that will be available at the new Mayfair Theatre (states the Christchurch Press). The majority of the men were well dressed and were obviously of good type, and most of the girls were also superior. Nearly all of them were unemployed. The positions advertised were for a projectionist, an assistant projectionist, two cashiers with a knowledge of shorthand and typing, five ushers, a doorkeeper, two female cleaners, a caretaker, a signwriter, and an outdoor publicity expert. For the positions for the girls and women 150 applicants arrived. Two officials of the company spent three hours, from 7 till 10 p.m., interviewing applicants, but of the 500 who waited only 160 could be interviewed in that time. The position of caretaker or doorman was the most popular among the men and fifty-two applicants were interviewed.

That swimming should be enforced as a compulsory subject in schools is the firm conviction of members of the Auckland Swimming Centre (states the Star). At a recent meeting of the centre, when consideration was given to a Wellington remit that the Government should be asked to make swimming a compulsory subject at schools where facilities were available, and also that it should be included in the teachers’ course of training. Mr D. Sanders, the centre’s educational officer, said that at the present time swimming was not as entirely compulsory in schools as he would like it to be. In many schools the art was not being encouraged, although Training College students were required to pass in swimming and life saving before being granted teaching certificates. It was decided to support the remit, which will be presented at the annual conference of delegates in Auckland, and also to back up a second Wellington suggestion that, where new schools are being built, the Government should be asked to make provision for swimming baths.
