Hand Caught in Lathe When his right hand was caught in a lathe at the New Zealand Refrigerating Company’s Imlay Works yesterday, Mr. D. Paul, Campbell Street, received extensive injuries to his second finger. He was taken to the Wanganui Hospital by the St. John Free Ambulance.

No Need for Tonsilitis. ‘There is never any necessity to have a tonsil operation, becaute'tonsilitis is an illness that need not occur if proper care is taken,” stated Dr. Ulric Williams, speaking to the fortnightly luncheon meeting of the Wanganui Junior Chamber of Commerce. ‘ The method of feeding and living is at fault —rectify that and you remove tonsilitis,” he said. Aram oho School Committee. Ten nominations have been received for nine seats on the Aramoho School Committee and an election will be held at the meeting next Monday night. Nominees are Messrs. L. P. Anderson, R. S. Boyland, J. F. Dimes, R. G. Howard, A. K. G. Jackson. F. A. Laird, J. G. Pendreigh, W. G. Price, G. R. Selfe and H. E. Work.

Large Boar Shot. While pig hunting on Mr. Lupton’s property in the Waitotara Valley on Easter Monday, two men from Waverley succeeded in bailing up a large sandy and black wild boar. The animal, which was shot after a long chase, measured 6ft. 9ins. from snout to tail. He made several attempts to escape into the bush, but the four dogs proved too much for him and a .30a bullet fired at fairly close range soon stopped his vicious attempts to free himself. One of the dogs, however, was severely injured. Citizens’ Anzac Service

City councillors attending the citizens’ Anzac Day service at the Cenotaph, Queen’s Park Domain, to-mor-row afternoon will occupy special seats flanking the memorial. Returned servicemen taking part in the service will ba provided with seating accommodation facing the Cenotaph. Ample space will be available for the public, and as the hymns and address will be amplified over a sound system those assembled should have no difficulty in hearing the service. The Wanganui Garrison Band and the Band of the 2nd N.Z. Armoured (Q.A.0.) will provide appropriate music and will play the accompaniment for the hymns. If the weather is wet the service will be transferred from Queen’s Park to the Opera House.

Correspondence Cure. The cure of cancer, among other diseases, by correspondence without even the necessity of the doctor seeing the patient, was one of the works he had undertaken, Dr. Ulric Williams informed his audience at the Junior Chamber of Commerce meeting in Wanganui yesterday. In cases he mentioned it had been discovered that the disease had been brought on by tumult of the mind and the emotions. Cute had been effected by removing that tumult ana giving the patient a new outlook on life. One of the cases, he said, was one of the most deadly type of cancer, and specialists had given up the case as hopeless—the be£t they could do being to postpone death by treatments, “some of them the most painful and expensive possible.” Now all signs of the growth had disappeared, and the former victim was completely cured and able to enjoy a normal life.
