WAITARA.

ANZAC DAY.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) September 28.

Business men are interesting themselves in reviving the Waitara Chamber of Commerce, which did good work before the war. Mr. Vaughan has consented to take the lead, and a public meeting is being held to launch the Chamber once again. It is hoped a strong Chamber will be got together to further the interests of the town and district.

Four cases of twins have occurred in Waitara recently.

TO BE OBSERVED AS A SUNDAY

(From Our .Parliamentary Reporter.) Wellington, Sept. 27. The Anzac Day Amendment Bill, introduced in the House of Representatives by the Minister of Internal Affairs, provides for the full observance of Anzac Day in the future years. The Act of last year directed that the anniversary of the landing on Gallipoli should he observed “as a public holiday.” The Bill to substitute the words “in all respects as if Anzac Day were a Sunday.” This will involve the closing of hotels and the cessation of ordinary business and amusement* on Anzac Day.
