In reply to inquiries from, ex-service-men at Ross concerning the objects and functioning of the Returned Soldiers’ Association, the executive of the Hokitika branch, visited Ross last evening when a well attended and entliusin stic meeting was held. . The president (Mr A. C.

He urged the men in the Rcss district to form Up with the organisation, thereby, giving assistance to those of their fellow members who were in SMttnwhnt straitened circumstances. The vice-president (Mr W. JC. Brawn) gave a detailed resume of the business transacted at the last annual conference held at Wellington.
