PROHIBITION

THE CLAIMS OF THE CHILDREN. SUNDAY’S RALLY. There was a large attendance of the public at Cook’s Gardens on Sunday afternoon on the occasion of a Prohibition rally and demonstration by children. All the Sunday schools were represented. The children mustered at St. Paul’s, which was the starting point for a procession, in which were flags and banners, Led by the Junior Garrison Band, the procession wended its way down the Avenue, reaching Cook’s Gardens by a circuitous route. Two splendid addresses were delivered to the concourse by Rev. J. Paterson, M.A., and Rev. Geo. Jackson, Young People’s Organiser for the New Zealand Alliance.

Both speakers dwelt on the advantages which would be derived by tho rising generation and by future generations if the drink traffic were wiped out now instead of being allowed to develop to the extent which it exists i-i the Old Land. MASS MEETING OF WOMEN. A mass meeting of women electors (irrespective of party) interested in Prohibition, is to be held in the Wanganui East Town Hall on Thursday, October 29, at 2.45.
