“Since that meeting last week,” Mr. Brownlie added, “conditions hare been somewhat improved by the allowance of 10 gallons of petrol per car each month, and there appears no lemon why members should not attend monthly meetings of the clubs. Of course it is necessary to omit any unnecessary activities from the programmes, but there is no reason to curtail the monthly meetings,

“As a member of the emergency committee representing Poverty Bay and northern and southern Hawke’s Bay, I would invite the co-operation of every member and every farmer to assist the council and the federation to parry an. We need your support and wc have confidence that all will rise to the occasion. A meeting of the Dominion executive will be held at the end of September, and any decisions made at that meeting will be communicated to the clubs.”
