Cabinet has decided that the chief post offices in Wellington, Auckland, Christchurch, and Dunedin shall bo illuminated and decorated for tho Peace celebrations. In the case of tihe Wellington G.P.0., the Featherston street frontage only will bo decorated, as the street is too narrow to allow of an effective illumination display. Uprights swathed with coloured cloth will be erected, and from them will he hung festoons of flags. Flags of the Allies and their national flowers will decorate the main entrance and the vestibule. Tho flowers are being'mado by tho ladies of the G.P.O. staff. On the Customhouse quay frontage tho display will be in tho form of illuminations.. The features of the scheme for this frontage will bo the outlining of the windows (save those in the centre) with electric lights, the tracing of the words “Peace with Honour” (in letters 2ft 6in in depth) along the parapet, and the Ailing in of tho central windows with Imlliantly-paintod transparencies renrosenting the national colours of the Allies.
