N.c.o.'s of the Taranaki Regiment who attcnded a special course at the central district school of instruction, Wellington, returned last night. They . will go into camp with the regiment at Waverley next week. Some officers and n.co.'s returned at the bcginning of September to take- the other ranks for the final month's training b-sfore the camp, but the majority after short leave went back to Wellington. Officers who took a refresher course also returned last night. Mutual Contact Wanted.

"Let us gct to- j gelher more in mutual conferc.nce, for an outburst against the department is usuallv only one side of the story— give us a chance to tell our's."
