In the course of its report to the Paeroa Borough Council meeting last night the finance committee pointed out that the council’s efforts to assist unemployment was imposing a' heavy drain on its finances. The committee suggested that 'an earnest appeal be made to ratepayers for a special effort to pay rates and water charges at the earliest possible moment. It was apparten that extreme efforts would have to be resorted to, because it was essential to the finances of the Council that outstanding rates should be paid. Thousands upon thousands of tons of tobacco are needed every year to keep the world’s pipe alight. America is a large producer, but other countries contribute —including New Zealand, where the tobacco industry promises to become of national importance. Already it finds employment for a rapidly increasing body of workers, while it is of material assistance to men on the land who have discovered that tobacco culture is wen worth while. The New Zealand grown tobacco now on the market is of splendid quality—sweet, pure, and fragrant. When smoking proves injurious this is due to .the presence in the leaf of an excess of nicotine. The imported brands are fvfll of this poison. The New Zealand brands are comparatively free from it, so that they can be 'smoked wih perfect impunity. That’s why the doctors approve of them. Once you acquire a taste for these tobaccos no others will satisfy you. They are of various strengths, Riverhead Gold, mild ; Navy Cut, (Bulldog), medium ; and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) is flavoured. Any tobacconist will supply you.*
