"NOT SERIOUS ENOUGH"
. COUNCIL CASTIGATED Alleging that the work of the Taranaki Provincial Patriotic Council was not taken seriously enough, Mr. L. H. Claphart, Hawera, suggested at a meeting of "the council at Stratford yesterday that an executive should be formed. The council met very infrequently, he said, an.d when it did, enough consideration was not given to its business. The council decided to place extra members on the finance committee. The meeting yesterday occupied about three hours and was attended by 27 members and officers from all parts of the province, No-one refuted Mr. Clapham's charges. "To-day we have gone through— well, I don't know what you would call it," declared Mr. Clapham. "I'll move that we form an' executive," he added. It was pointed out that the finance committee was not so large an organisation as the entire council, and consisted of four members, Following a short discussion, in which it was pointed out that petrol restrictions would prevent frequcnt meetings, even if there were an executive, Messrs. Clapham and R. Lewis, Mayor of Ellham, were added to the finance committee.
