(Our own correspondent.) Regarding Mr Harry Sandle, referred to in yesterday’s issue, a further letter received states:—“l have been offered the position as head teacher of a school near Ohakune, on the Main Trunk railway line. If I am allowed by the Training College authorities to go I shall be appointed as from December Ist. It is a real good job, as tho salary should be over £300.”

Mr Maunsell, S.M. stated this morning that the present sitting would be the last one he would preside at here, as Mr Orr-Walker was taking up the duties in this district. At the conclusion of the quarterly meeting of the Fire Brigade last evening, a social hour was spent by members. Occasion was taken to toast the health of an old member, Mr Robert Ross, Jnr., congratulations being expressed by members at his being appointed Superintendent of the Taumarunui Fire Brigade, the borough there having recently formed a Fire Board and the appointment made being the first superintendent under the now. regime.

The G.O.M’s. of the Hokitika Fire Brigade were specially marked out last evening. These are Superintendent Braddon, who has put in an extended service of over forty years, and Foreman Robert lloss, with some 36 years of service. Both members have given invaluable service to the Brigade, and on the occasion of the presentation of a gold bar for two years additional service each, their services were voiced with Approved appreqiation. It was worthy of note that Foreman Ross had two sons who were also recipients of service honours—Fireman C. Ross, who received a silver star for two years additional service (making a total of fourteen years), and Fireman Jack Ross, who received a five years’ service medal, while as mentioned elsewhere Foreman Ross’ eldest son has recently been appointed Superintendent of Taumarunui Fire Brigade, , previously to removal from Hokitika having for many years being a valued member of the local Brigade, which is rightly proud of the appointment recently made.
