REHABILITATION BOARD INVESTIGATING

A full report on all aspects, of exservicemen's land settlement is being prepared by the Farms Advisory, Committee of ' tlie Rehabilitation Board. The report, which is being compiled from as wide a field as possible tis to be the basis for discussion with the Minister of Rehabilitation, the Hon. C. i\ Skinner. It will be prepared against the back ground of experience which the boaVd has so far gained in the task of settling servicemen of this war on the land.

The primary obje)|fc of the report 'is to obtain a broad picture of the difficulties confronting acceleration of land settlement and development, with a view to their being overcome. Particular reference is being made to scope; of settlement, taking into account the land available and likely to be made available. Other matters to be covered are the fertiliser, plant, housing, building and manpower positions, administration and method of settlement.

"I mind the time when I knocked off smoking," the bus driver confided to the man sitting alongside. "Why did 1? Weil the wife said I was fair chucking money away on baccy so I cut it out. The craving for a smoke was awful -at first. Then it stopped. But Lord ? how miserable I was! The wife said I was that snappy 'twasn't safe to come anigh me. At last I went to my lodge doctor. He told me to start smoking again right away but said not to smoke baccv with a lot of nicotine in it. 'Try the New Zealand,' he saj's. 'It's toasted.' I'll never 'knock off smoking again. I'd sooner knock off eating." The lodge doctor knew. "It's toasted" he said, and in those two words explained the reason why New Zealand tobacco is the best in the world. There's practically no nicotine in it. The toasting eliminates it.. Here arc the brands of toasted manufactured: Riverhead Gold t Desert Gold Navy Cut No. 3 ? Pocket and Cut Plug No. 10; also Riverhead and Desert Gold tailormades.
