The councillor for the hiding (relates ' an exchange) said that this player was one ’of a gang, and if he were allowed the whole holiday ( it would mean holding up the gang. “As a councillor,” he said, “it is no good to me.”. Another councilloi said his oWn employee made. regular applications Tor days off to go«to. race meetings, “leaving-me to . milk the cows and attend to the farm. And one dav he told me I should not work so hard. I told him that if I did not keep-the farm going there, would be no work, for either of us-” It. was decided to inform the football club that the council would agree,to,relie.ve any employee for recreation, purposes pro-- ■ ■ vided an approved, substitute was found to' carry-.on the work. - j- In seeking to- enlighten the on “ What-is Unitarianism ?” the Rev.

' Many home-makers have re-discov-ered the beauties of candles and \ candle-light, and thousand of New Zealand homes are now illuminated by the soft, light of “Golden Ray” Candles. . “Golden Rays.” are made in the ■ Dominion, give a better light, and cost less than imported lines. They are. specially hardened, therefore last longer than .other brands. If your grocer does not stock, write for supplies' direct to Ellis and Manton, Ltd-, .
