It was well patronised. Armistice Day was commemorated by the usual two minutes’ silence in Waipawa to-day, the fire-bell giving the necessary warning. The flag was flown at the Post Office, and also at the District High School. Permission was granted to the Education Committee by the House of Representatives to hold an inquiry into the education system of the Dominion during the recess. Replying to Mr Coates, the Hon. H. Atmore stated it was recognised throughout the world that there was a need for the evolution of some system of education more suited to the needs of each country than that in existence at the present time. This feeling was particularly strong in New Zealand and it was intended that the scope of the committee’s inquiry should be very wide. New potatoes are down. You can now buy them ut four pounds for one shilling, and they’re good, too. Get them at Bryant’s.” At to-day’s meeting of the County Council Cr. Paulsen expressed his disappointment at the very poor reports which appeared in the Napier Press of the appeal case McLeod v. Waipawa County Council. The question at issue was, he said, one of vital interest to every County in New Zealand, and it certainly warranted greater publicity. Space could he found for reports of divorce cases, hut apparently not for matters of public interest. Get properly set for the coming season.

Kingston, to-morrow evening. The County Council to-day decided to impose a speed limit of 20 miles an hour on vehicles when passing through townships in tire County. Some members thought it a little too low, but as was pointed out if it were made 25 the rule would be interpreted as 30. The police are also to he asked to see that the motor regulation in regard to parking is observed. It was suggested that this was not necessary in small townships, but Cr. Paulsen pointed out that the law had to be observed in larger centres, anil motorists could get good training in the country.
