The reciprocity is"made possible under the Maintenance Orders (New Zealand) (.facilities fo; i'nfotccment) Ordinance, 1936. Increase in Air Mail. Whether stimulation bv ih e threat that if not given more support the airmail services ran a risk of being discontinued, or for some other reason, the fact remains that people are using the air mails to a greater extent than has been the case since the opening week. Last week’s figures show a marked upward tendency, nearly 16,000 letters having b(|:n earned compared with an average of about 12,000 for each of the five preceding weeks. The first week’s total was over 36.000. but this large total was due . l o the activities of philatelists, which have now ceased. Sugar Cargo Delayed. Owing to a succession of rough days in the northern area of the west coast the auxiliary motor-vessel Hauturu, originally due at Wanganui earlier in the week, has been delayed. The Hauturu has consignments of sugar and general cargo from Onehunga and was first of all delayed owing to the Manukau Bar being unworkable. Bhe arrived at New Plymouth at 1 p.m. last Tuesday, but was delayed at the Taranaki port for two days owing to rain. She cleared i New Plymouth at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Wanganui bound, but was forced to return to port yesterday morning owing to stress of weather. The vessel is now expected to leave New’ Plymouth this morning, in which case she will arrive either to-night or to-morrow, in time fer discharge on Monday. I Care of Matarawa Cemetery. “A great number of old settlers who battled away and made this count!y are buried in the Matarawa Cemetery, said Mr. Duncan Mackintosh, chairman of the Wanganui County Council, when urging at vesterdr/’s meeting that the care of .the cemetery should become a charge on the whose county. ‘‘The work has been very much neglected and it is no crelii to the settlers in this district that such should be the case. The subject was introduced byT'r. D. McGregn, whu suggested that, the entrance of the cemetery should be improved. The chairman agreed and said that as people hud been buried there from all over the county, the council should keep the ground in proper order. There was certainly room for considerable improvement being made to the surroundings. Cr. D. McGregor said that certain work had already been done. The cemetery was not in such a bad state now. He thought he would be able to arrange some working bees. Cr. T. Mitchell said the cemetery was vested in trustees. They did not have the funds to carry out all the desired vork. The council decided that any ' -ork undertaken in connection with his cemetery would be a charge on the •'hole county.
