A scheme for 5000 new houses has recently been approved by Manchester City Council. Judging by the inadequate housing accommodation available in New Zealand a project on similar lines to that adopted in Manchester would undoubtedly assist in some measure to solve a muchperplexed problem. • v n Angling enthusiasts report trout being fairly plentiful in the streams at Motu and Matawai, particularly brown trout. The successes were more pronounced in the Matawai streams, owing, it is believed, to the abundance of other food in the creeks at Motu. O 9 V 9 Speaking at Wellington, the Hon. G. W. Russell said he believed that on account of its fertility New Zealand is destined to be the dairy farm of the British Empire. Already, he said, the Dominion was sending half of the cheese imported by the Mother Country. By virtue of hydro-electric power it would advance to be the workshop of the Pacific and the dairy farm of the Empire. ® . • • 9 Referring at a meeting of returned soldiers to the hardships endured in the trenches, General G. S. Richardson remarked: “Some of you would not have been able to keep alive if you had not had a little tot of rum.” (Loud laughter and applause.) The General said that reminded him of the woman who was astonished that the men were given rum, and asked: “Why not give them hot milk instead?” • • • • The two gold medals presented by Messrs. A. and G. Price, Ltd., engineers, Thames, for the best essays on the subject, “How N.Z. Manufacturers Can Best Help Our Returned Soldiers,” from any boy or girl attending any college or school in New Zealand, have been awarded to the following: Girls: Winnie Catherwood, Featherston; boys: Ralph Wilson, Taupaki. The whole of the essays received were of a very high standard, and reflect great credit on the writers, most of whom came to this conclusion, viz., that New Zealand manufacturerse can best help returned soldiers by (1) giving them preference in employment; (2) training soldiers who wish to learn; (3) giving the light work to partially disabled soldiers. The competitors considered that the general public could give a helping hand by buying New Zealand-made goods, thus making the manufacturers so busy that they would require a lot more men, and which would enable them to employ the soldiers as they returned to take up civil life.
