Wellington, This Day.
Heslop was elected for Patea by the narrow majority of of six votes. He was for many years Chairman of the Hawera County Council and is still a member of the Taranaki Licensing Committee and Land Board. He. is a typical farmer and should make a good representative for the district, which has so many back blocks settlers among the electors.
