N.Z. LEGION

INTENSIVE ACTIVITIES CAMPAIGN UNDER WAY Since the holding of a meeting of the Now Zealand Legion in Wanganui, speakers have boon enlisted and a good team of men and women have expressed their willingness to take tho platform to expound the objects of the league. The temporary committee has remained in office pending the holding of meetings throughout the district, because it was felt that as Wanganui is to he a divisional centre, and that the whole of the Wanganui district will have to bo represented on the Divisional Council, it would bo better to defer for a. short while the election of offi cers. Meetings have been arranged to be held at Fordell on Friday evening and at Makirikiri on Saturday even big. Negotiations are in train to hold meetings at Okoia, Wangaohu, Taihape, Hur.terville, Waverley. Westmere. T.'ananui, Brunswick and Maxwell. The organisation is working harmoniously, the members claim, and the degree of enthusiasm is quite unique. From Taranaki the same movement is reported. Meetings have been held in New Plymouth and speakers therefrom have moved out into the country The Taranaki farmers have taken a keen interest in the. legion and have joined up in considerable, numbers. The organisation has progressed in Taranaki to a more developed stage than in Wanganui because it started earlier, in point of time. The legion has organised itself into a fully-functioning body and will hold public meetings, in Now Plymouth during the coming week. Tn the Mnnawatu district the legion is centrally organised and steps are now being taken to hold meetings at various rural points of population.
