Interference With Signs

Recently some irresponsible person or persons ? attracted by the signposts, erected by the Automobile Association decided to remove some. * The area they chosc was. between Edgecumbe and the subway where a number of signs were pulled out and lel't lying on the side of the road. Some which had been torn c|own had been originally stapled with wire to neighbouring posts or fences but this apparently presented no object. The usual reward is offered by the A.A. for information leading to the apprehension of the individuals concerned.

Servicemen's Wives The. State Department Washington says that 1846 visas were issued to Australian wives of American servicemen and 273 ttf New Zealand brides to February 1 1945. The fig-< ures do not tell the full story of the problem that servicemen are building up overseas because Consuls do not issue visas until transport is in sight. Approximately 350 wives; and 500 fiancees are waiting in New Zealand? and also a large number in England. Bills were recently introduced in Congress to grant immediate citizenship to any alien otherwise eligible for naturalisation who married a serviceman provided she took the oath of allegiance.
