A demonstration of the Temple Cox humane killer pistol was given at the Chi-istchureh City Abattoir. Everyone present was satisfied with the rapidity of the killing, its soundlessness and its humaneness. The method of killing was quicker, death was instantaneous, the carcase bled perfectly, there was no free bullet ' and therefore no human risk. These killers are in use in Scotland, only humane killing being allowed there, and in many other countries. "It was my usual night for shaving,” remarked a witness in the Supreme Court at Auckland last week. He was fixing the date of a motor collision, and explained that he shaved three times a week. Tuesday being one of these occasions. “I was just rubbing my hand over my face,” he continued, but Mr Justice Herdman told him the court did not want such details. “There was a crash,” h« went on. "In the bathroom or on the road?” asked his Honour. The witness assured his Honor that the crash was on the road, and said it was a matter of seconds for him to get there. “Taking the razor with you?” his Honor suggested, but the witness was positive that he had left the razor tehind. Attacks are frequently levelled against Parliament, but reference is not so often made to the attacks launched by Parliament. Spearing at the Railway Officers’ Institute social at Invercargill on Saturday, Mr J. Hargest, M.P., said that by reison of the attacks made against every section of the community Parliamtnt had no doubt become highly unpopular; yet this fact should convince people of the sincerity of the Government to serve the country's best Interests. “We have passed through three veiy difficult years,” he said, “and I Ihink it only right that people should tppreciate the hard and unpleasart task which faced members. Ecmomies were essential, but the carryinj out of these meant that Parliament had to attack everyone and make enemies everywhere. However much nembers maye be criticised, whatever may be the blunders attributed to Pariament, it should be recognised that courage and honesty of purpose were dsplayed in effecting the legislation wlich the abnormal times called for. 3y supporting some of these unpopukr measures we knew we were going a long way towards committing politcal suicide, but we felt that they weE essential ’for the country’s -welfare. Whatever may be my fate at suisequent elections I do hope that the people of New Zealand will elect members who will stand firm for the good of the country, irrespective of the (fleet of their attitude on themselves,” “We have entered an era >f planning in all fields of economic ictlvity,” writes Lieutenant-Colonel E. H. W. Lascelles iff “The Times" Thde and Engineering Supplement. ‘Rationalisation and co-operation die supplanting unrestricted competiion and wastefulness in home pbduction, manufacture, and marketing; policies of complementary productiol within the British Commonwealth ae essential to its growth and prepress; a measure of reasonable co-jperation must be substituted for indiariminate competition or obdurate restiction in regard to international tradi. Above all, it is essential to bear in nind that planning is done in the Srvice of man; no mere economic plai devised by him must be allowed to bcome his master. The satisfactory coiduct of trade, both internal and external, can be ensured only by enalllng the human factor to have full (lay—continuous contact at the levs of high industrial and commercial policy is essential, and this connotei personal touch between the principal of concerns doing business with ach other or liasion through the medhm of representatives ‘of the calibi! and attainments of a principal.’ A further necessity is touch of the save quality between commerce and industry and those Government departments concerned with the political aspects of commercial and industrial plicy. The technique' to be developd is one hitherto fully practised oily by the diplomatic and fighting Srvices —the technique of liaison.”
