Radonavich, H. Mead and H. Baljin were elected an entertainment committee. It was decided to hold a general meeting of all ex-servicemen during the week-end in the orderly room. UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM. From what can be ascertained there are few married men unemployed at Lyttelton, but a good number of youths are out of work.
