MARTON

RANGITIKEI HUNT The hounds met on Wednesday al Glenmore, the property of Mr H. J. L'ameron. The cold wind and overcast >ky were responsible for a comparatively small following, and as would be expected, under the conditions, there was an almost entire absence of scent. A hare was found early in the bu*h in the gravel pit paddock, and after circling twice, made off into the hospital paddock. Here the pack, which had been working very laboriously in picking up what little scent there was, los; all trace of the quarry for nearly half an hour. Eventually ■■■•uss” was found again, ran once round the hospital paddock and then returned to the gravel pit paddock. Light rain had low set in and, as all attempts to sst the hounds running again were unsuccessful, the field adjourned to rhe homestead, where a most enjoyable tea wa- provided by Air and Mrs Cameron. Among those following were DeputyMasters H. J. Cameron on Some Day; J. Brice (Sailor Boy); Huntsman A. Goodwin (Bonus); Messrs F. Brice (Powhiri); C. Henderson (Surprise Packet), E.

THE CIVIC THEATRE "HELL’S ANGELS” Au event of more than usual significance is slated for Marton movie-goers at the Civic Theatre this afternoon and evening, and on Monday evening, "Hell’s Angels,” the most outstanding film achievement of all time, is he attraction. "Hell’s Angels” i« the stupendous drama of air-war which Howard Hughes produced and personally directed at the staggering cost of 4.000,000, and which required three years of continuous filming to complete. It is admittedly the ace spectacle of war-time aviation—a graphic glorification of the World War in the air. According to most critics, it is the supreme revelation of realism—the first authentic reproduction of the exploits of both Allied and German airmen during the World War. More than 100 daring pilots, including many of America’s foremost stunt flyers, took part in the thrilling air battles which are a spectacular feature of "Hell’s Angels.” A flying fleet of exactly 87 real war-time ’planes, including a giant German Gotha bomber and a German dirigible, was brought together from all parts of the world and flown in this picture. SUSPENSION OF UNEMPLOYMENT RELIEF ITS AFFECT IN RANGITIKEI The suspension of the unemployment relief under No. 5 relief scheme on June 20 will seriously affect a number of unemployed in Rangitikei. At the present time there are 147 on the county lists and 43 in the borough of Marton and the town boards of Hunter ville and Bulls. Approximately 30 per cent, of these are C class, that is those with two or more dependents. Under the present arrangement, these men work three weeks in four, and it so happens that the end of their working period in both county council and borough council falls to-day, so that for them to all intents, relief ends on the 13th. of the month. Some few who were added during the last fortnight will be entitled to a few more days it is understood, but the majority will go off. Detailed figures for the County Coun. •li are as follows: Marton (including Varakina) 49, Bulls 9, Taihape 70, Kfangaweka 6, Ohingaiti 5, Hunterville (including Rata) B—total 147. It is possible that since the last returns were sent in the numbers have been tugmented. In the Borough Council’s employ ‘.hero are 17; in Hunterville Town Board’s, 15; and in Bulls Town Board’s, 11—total 43. Numbers for Mangaweka Town Board and Taihape Borough are not known, but assuming them to be in proportion, this county —one of the richest in the Dominion—is affected to a considerable extent. It is scarcely conceivable how much the cessation of the major relief scheme will mean in poorer districts and In the cities. The work being done by these men In this district is not of a nature that cannot be suspended, and consists largely of road widening and straightening, cleaning of water tables, cutting corners, etc. In Marton, unemployed are working on Kensington Road, and most of their work elsewhere is ready for the finishing touches by the permanent staff.

(Bus leaves station at 2 p.m. sharp). Comments by “Observer.” The opening games of the second round brought one surprise, but nevertheless meritorious victory, a win by Athletic over Bulls. When these teams firs met over a month ago. Bulls had little difficulty in running out winners by a clear 22 points and Athletic’s form of Saturday last must have since caused Bulls io think furiously. The visiting side were for the greater part of the game on the defensive and Athletic’s 14 points to 3 victory was fullydeserved. Since their entry into the competition in 1926, Athletic have been lucky enough to field eight splendid forwards and it was in the vanguard where their strength lay last Saturday. Pulls hardly played up to form, but their backs were quite outclassed on the day s play. D. Cameron at fullback was a noticeable exception and did all that was asked of him, his linekicking being well directed and his tackling ami handling first class. Rugby fans in Rangitikei, and particularly followers of the code in Marton, who averred that Cameron’s tackling did not fit. him for the full-back position either fur his club or Rangitikei, must have, by now, good reason to change their mind. The results of Saturday’s matches places Rata in the lead for the championship, but Bulls, Old Boys arid Athletic are still lying close handy. Though they won by a comfortable margin of points, Old Boys were fully extended to defeat Halcombe at Halcombe. The amber and black forwards dominated play most of the time, only lack of finish nullifying their efforts Davies was the best forward on the ground and led his side in an inspiring fashion. The Halcombe skipper is a rare grafter and should gain representative honours ere long. Old Boys had to thank Blake wav for their win as the fleet-footed wing threequarter scored all their points. He is the fastest man seen in the district for many years and his try on Saturday was a gem. It is not often that three field goals figure in the score sheet but such was the case in che match at Halcombe, Blake way landing two for the visitors, while Clapham .secured four points this way for the home side. Waldin again played consistently for the blues and his right position appears to be at wing forward. The remaining senior game was contested at Hunterville, where the local side went down by nine points to three to Rata. The trial of strength between Pakeha and Maori fifteens staged at Marton Park on Wednesday was somewhat disappointing to a fair crowd of spectators. Rain prior to the match made the ball difficult to handle, and few, if any, sparkling rearguard movements were witnessed. The match proved what a fine senior team Rata possesses, for in all but two cases the Maori team was made up of Rata players. The match itself could not have proved much of a guide to Selector A. Henwood, for hardly any new players on trial showed to great advantage. Nuku Williams, who assisted Rata in the first few matches of last year, scored a splendid try, but in so doing he was assisted by shocking tackling. Peina showed all his one time resource in the natives’ rearguard, and Nero Kane made a welcome return to prove he is not a spent force yet. Johnston, an ex-Rangitikei and Wanganui representative player, occupied the. half back position and did quite well. 'Two younger players in H. Taiuru and
