! Mr and Mrs Limorna Birch and ; the Hon. Mrs Vane, of England, who ; arc making a motor tour of New Zea- | land, were guests at the Hotel Strat- • ford last night. This morning th: y i left for the South. | Mr C. E. Scott, who recently took ’up duty as Postmaster at Stratford, j was welcomed o the council of the • Stratford Chamber of Commerce at ' last night’s meeting. The president, jMr F. T. Halo, expressed the hope ■ that Mr Scott’s stay in Stratford would be a pleasant one and assured him that any suggestions of interest to the chamber and the town would be welcomed. Guests at the Hotel Stratford last night were: —Mr Swimsette (Wellington), Mr Gits (Wellington), Mr Briggs (Helen: vilk ), Mr Shannon (Sydney), Mr Smhher (Wellington), Mr Dawson (Auckland). Mr Freeman (Auckland), Mr Cummins (Wellington), Mr Allen (Auckland), the Hon. i Mrs Vane and Mr and Mrs Lamorna Birch (England), Mr and Mrs Jones, Miss Jones, Mrs Manneer (Gisborne), I Mr and Mrs Carseldine (Cambridge), ? Mr Dodson (Wellington). I TIME IS MONEY. Whatever individual opinions may be concerning the effects of Government legislation on hours of work and rates of pay, the general consensus of opinion among the business people of Stratford is that it aTi makes for more efficient work and I organisation. Business principals ' must now organise effectively within i I heir own concerns, while assistants I must work more efficiently if the inli creas d costs are not to become an i undue burden and defeat their very ' objects. There is a moral in this | for many friends of shop assistants. | Long and involved telephone conversations concerning notlfing in particular and anything but business artjso much waste of valuable time as j 100. are those friendly chats over the ; counter. It wouTd not be surprising, the “Central Press” was told this morning if principals stiffened up their shop regulations considerably.
