NO REQUEST MADE
More Sunday Entertainment For Troops POSITION IN WELLINGTON A statement that no request had been received for the provision of additional Sunday entertainment for men of the armed forces was made by the mayor, Mr. Hislop, at a meeting of the Wellington City Council last week. The subject was introduced by Cr. F. W. Furkert, who suggested the appointment of a committee of three to investigate and report. He said that he was anxious not to offend the susceptibilities of those people who wanted proper Sabbath observance, . and he did not . want to open the door to Sunday entertainment. He was aware of the splendid work which was being done by many patriotic organizations, but he had seen hundreds of our own men about the streets of the city oh Sunday afternoons, who looked as if they had nowhere to go. The mayor said that from his contacts. with patriotic organizations he knew that no request had been received for any extension of Sunday entertainment. In Wellington on Sundays there were three or four places of entertainment for sailors only and seven or eight for all men of the armed forces. He had no reason to believe that there was any shortage of Sunday entertainment. Cr. R. H. Kimmo said he agreed that the present provision was adequate. - ~
