SCHOOL ADMISSION AGE. RIVERLEA RESIDENTS’ MOTION. At the recent householders meeting at Riverlea a motion was carried unanimously that the meeting was of the opinion that the present school entrance age was not in the best interests of the children, and that the former fiveyear entrance age should be immediately reverted to. At a subsequent meeting of householders, Mr. C. Chapman was elected chairpjan and Mr. Voullaire secretary and treasurer. MR. SEMPLE’S BREEZY MANNER. BRIGHT SPOTS IN HAWERA TALK. Mr. R. Semple, MP., was in fine form for his speech at Hawera on Friday, and a serious discourse was enlivened by what the Americans are pleased to label with the colourful term of “wisecracks.’ All shades of political opinion thoroughly enjoyed them, and repeatedly there were gales of laughter, above _ which the speaker could not be heard.

If they did they’d get a headache. x _x They say lenders would not trust a Labour Government. It is not the G°vemment they lend money on but the security of the people of New Zealand.
