A gift haa been made to the Atukland Art Gallery by Mr. C. N. WotlWy, of his well-known picture "Oape yoKUwind," on condition that the citb&ni of Auckland subscribe the sum of £74 to the patriotic fund. It was this picture which gained for Mr. Worsley the diploma of the Royal Society of British Artists. "One thing which the war will atsuredly do is to convinco all our peopl* that the industrial life of the Dominions must never be allowed to languish," stated the annual report of the Wellington Provincial Industrial Aisedation, which met last evening. H would be admitted, said the report, that is the past the people had been apathetic as regards the welfare of their own industries. No country could ever achieve real greatness if it depended upon its primary industries only. The war, and the tactics adopted by our enemies, had caused people to declare that they did not want to sec the enemies countries' manufactures enter New Zealand again. Would these people remain firm, even after the war was over, in this respectt It was hoped they would, it being clearly their duty to do so. There has been difficulty lately in obcrews for boats trading on the New Zealand coast and in intercolonial waters. This is due to the fact that about 20 per cent, of the seafaring men are serving the Empire, either on sea or on land. Some COO men out of a total membership of about 300Q in the Federated Seamen's Union of New Zealand have given their services. About 200 are Naval Reservists, who were cell. Ed up on the outbreak of war. /Soma of these men are now on board the Philomel. Others have enlisted with the New Zealand Expeditionary Forces or in the Army in other parts of the Empire. Quito a number of union officials, put gone. Tho consequence is that, withths same number of boats in commission as before tho war, seamen do not get man* opportiuiities for holidays on show tn be* tween jobs. As soon as they leave en* boat they are wanted to sign on i£ an. other. ;-m Puxchaa and Bon (Urenni and 0. Mculi (Kttham), E. CroWman ( tt «MJ. QvgtgSl HA {fc
