A fine film (Patlie Review) depicting species of birds in flight, taken by means of the slow motion camera, was used by Mr Archey, assistant curator of the Museum, in connection with a lecture at Canterbury College yesterday morning. The film was lent by tlic management of Liberty! '.theatre. The death is announced oi Mr M illiain Menzies. an old identity of Southland, where he had lived tor fifty-eight years. His death occurred from heart failure suddenly on Sunday morning. Air Menzies was well known in sheep farming circles, as he had been principally engaged in that occupation. For the last twelve vears or so lie had lived in Invercargill. having retired from active business, and amused himself with bowling and draughts, according to the season. His great and accurate knowledge. of land was well known to the Land Board, which often made use of his services as adviser and valuator. Mr Menzies was never married, and a niece is his nearest surviving relative. At yesterdav’s sitting of the Conciliation Council when the dispute between the. North Canterbury threshing mill owners and the union was heard, there was considerable discussion relative to tho cost of living and tho stabilisation of wages. Mr G. Sheat, agent for the employers, said it was in the workers’ hands to reduce the cost of living. In the particular case of the threshing mill workers, il everything was done to reduce the cost of threshing the effect would be a reduction in the price of bread, which would benefit all tho workers. The price of wheat had been lowered about 2s a bushel and yet the workers were not prepared to make a sacrifice. They should be prepared to take a lower wage in the common good. Mr C. E. Baldwin said that it was all very well to talk about reducing wages now. The general idea of the employer seemed to be that the wage should come down without a proportionate decrease in the cost of living. Tt was an impossible position, and it- did not seem fair that one party alone should make the sacrifice towards the lowering of the cost of living. The art of baking a loaf with a light, crispy crust is exemplified in Woodward’s (Campbell Bros.) Crown Brand Bread. It melts deliciously in the mouth—no sogginess, no indigestion. Just try it once you will be absolutely delighted. Ask your grocer lor it or ring up Campbell Bros (L. A. "Woodward, proprietor), 186, Antigua Stmt. ■Phone 1529. 51 KS
