The durability of white pine wlien not exposed to weather conditions is 1 exemplified at the Ngaere Hall, Eltham. j It is 36 years ago since the hall seats j were provided, and although they were : made from white pine, it is only re- ' cently that the borer has penetrated them. Had the seats been painted when i first placed in the hall,' the probabilities are that they would have remained • sound for many more year*. At a meeting on Monday night of the contributing"authorities to the Wairaraps, Hydro-electrical Investigating Committee, Mr J. C. Cooper stated that it was estimated that the Wairarapa scheme could be provided from the Waiohine River for £120,000. Nothing could be done until after the termination of the war and until legislative authority was. given the local bodies to borrow for the ' purpose. The local scheme eould, he said, be made subsidiary to the Mangahao scheme. The Hon. G. M. Thomson, M.L.C., read to the members of the King: Edward Technical College Board of Governors at Dunedin an extract from an article by Mr Sidney H. Jenkinson, formerly -of Christchurch, -in -the New Zealand "Journal of Science and Technology," which stated: "Possibly it is ■' of good omen for this Dominion's fu- ' ture that to-day the first and foremost : scientist of the world in the field of •' foundry work is a New Zealander, a ! chemist educated in our technical i schools and university, whose name is »'< worthy of being inscribed beside Sir E. ji Rutherford's on our yet scanty roll of I'fame—Dr Mellor —whose colossal help ! towards supplying Great Britain with ian adequate output of munitions will isurely be suitably recognised by the nain'the near future." Mr Thomson [added that Dr Mellor was a product of • our primary schools (he having attended the Kaikorai school), and Technical ! School, and the Otago. University, •where he took his B.Sc. degree before igoinjg to England. The general opinion among Southern •wheat brokers is that this season's ■ wheat harvest is a short one and much bolow Dominion requirements. The UhTeshing returns to May 15th accounted for only 4,435,365 bushels of which a fair proportion was of a non-milling Equality. The Dominion's milling re- '• quirements were about 6,000,000 bush- . els. In Canterbury threshing was practically completed. Many North Island mills are in short supply and even after j diligent inquiry eould not gat their dc- ■ mands supplied. [ The popular impression irf the minds j of most Europeans is that the Maori ii is an indolent individual who dodges '•hard work, but a visit to the site on which Andrews' Hotel, Dannevirke, is j ; to be re-erected will dispel this idea. 1 ■ Here many of the men doing the la- .; bouring part of the work are local natives, who can shovel, use the pick and • do other manual labour with as much zest and effect as the average European ■ general labourer. —"News." ' A rather serious position regarding New Zealand trade with Great Britain has been disclosed by Mr B. W. Dalton, British Trade Commissioner for ! New Zealand. He stated that New Zealand was losing trade very heavily, ■the figures for the last year showing a ■ great decrease in the share of the ■ United Kingdom in the total trade ! with New Zealand. Before the war this fl share amounted to 65 per cent., and this I'ycar it had fallen still further. _ A |! good deal of competition from foreign !' countries had entered. Some of this j'would be difficult to cope with after ■ the war was over, and the longer the ■war lasted the more serious the position was likely to become. It was necessary, therefore, to take steps at present to keep alive the undoubted ' sympathy which existed towards •' British trade. For this reason he had organised under extremely difficult cir.cumstanccs exhibitions of British goods at various agricultural shows during the past two years and a much wider scheme would be put into operation as soon as the war was over and goods for exhibition purposes were available.
