CONDENSED NEWS.
OVERNIGHT SUMMARY. A movement is on foot at Cust to have the Post Office separated from the railway station and erected in the township. Severe frosts and fogs arc being experienced at Reefton. Owing to the water shortage necessitating cutting off the. water supply at night, bursting of water pipes is a common occurrence. A report presented to the Health Department by Professor Hercus, of Otago, states that the fundamental factor in the causation of goitre is a deficient intake of iodine, assuming which the prevention of the disease should be a comparatively simple problem. Motor lorries arc doing considerable damage to roads in the Cheviot district. Mr .M. J. Savage, Labour member for Auckland AA'est. does not take the view expressed by Air AV. T. Jordan that the policy of “uschold” has been dropped by the Labour Party. Mr Savage said that it would be ridiculous to suppose that because, one* electorate had rejected the policy, it would be dropped from the Dominion programme.
