POND FOR WILD FOWL
Because of a shortage of labour and increased staff difficulties the Invercargill City Council decided at its meeting last night that the proposal to construct a pond for native wild fowl in Queen’s Park should be held over for the duration of the war. PLUNKET SOCIETY STREET DAY
An application by the Invercargill branch of the Plunket Society to hold a street day on a Friday next October has been held over in the meantime. The council’s present nolicy is to grant street days, not to exceed one day a month, on Wednesdays, with the exception of three Fridays, two of which are reserved for the Poppy Day appeal of the Returned Services Association and for the Social Service Association respectively, the third to be allotted during the year at the discretion of the council. MANY NEW MEMBERS
In the report which appeared in The Southland Times yesterday of the committee meeting of the Automobile Association (Southland), it was stated that 32 new members had been added to the association during the 1941-42 season. This was actually the figure for the month of December only. Since September 1, 260 new members have been added—a remarkable increase when the restrictions on the use of petrol are considered.
