Successes By New Zealand Doctors Successes gained by New Zea’.anders in the examination for the Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons were commented upon by Dr D. B. Caro, of St Mary’s Hospital, London, and formerly of Hamilton, in a letter to his father, Mr H. D. Caro, Mayor of Hamilton. Dr Caro said that of 12 New Zealanders eight were successful. This percentage was excellent in view of the fact that the average pass was 25 per cent.

Parking Near Schools Where considered necessary in the interests of public safety, especially of children, the Waikato County Council will exercise its powers to forbid parking in front of school grounds. The position was discussed at the County Council meeting on Tuesday when the Counties Association advised that the Commissioner of Transport was not in favour of a general prohibition of such parking. Proposed. War Memorial At last night’s meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, Mr A. G. Warburton drew attention to the fact that the Government had approved in principle of the proposed War Memorial. The speaker said that a meeting of the War Memorial Committee should be held early in the new year to prosecute the proposal. The size of the Park would be as large as the response of the town and district warranted. Happy Days Predicted

Four-roomed houses, all conveniences and a view you love to see, yours at 25s per week. “To Let” signs in every window and page two of your favourite newspaper devoted to houses for sale and to let. Not yet, but this is the happy state of affairs predicted by a leading Hastings land agent when the new Government amends the Land Sales Act and gives everyone a “free and open go.” The queue forms to the right.
