NOTES AND COMMENTS

While in other parts of New Zealand the praises are being sung of parents having two and sometimes three sous with the Expeditionary Forces. Te Arolia cau go one better. Mr and Mrs J. Timniim, of have ■ now ore boy, William, fighting at the Dardanelles ; John is on his way there, while by Friday’s express Joseph and Charles left to go into camp at Tretitham. The loyalty and love of country shown by this family is a credit to it and to New Zealand, and is an example which could be followed by many other families which are chary of sending even one son ‘o go to the front to fight for the honour of the Empire. In this case the strain on the parents is indeed great, but their action speaks volumes for the intense spiiit of lojalty.
