NO LONGER CALM.
COLD ANGER AND INDIGNATION IN FEILDING AT PASSING OF ROYAL TRAIN. FEILDING, February 25. The Feilding distiet is suffering cold anger and indignation over the noninclusion. of this town as a stoppingplace for the Royal train. Application was made through the member for the district and it was hoped that an arrangement would have been made for a short stop next Thursday on route to Palmerston North, but a message has been received from the Prime Minister (Mr. Coates) saying that he could only arrange for the Royal train to slow down. The Mayor (Mr. Carthew) has replied that as the privilege of standing alongside the railway line to’ see the Royal train pass is not likely to be availed of by returned soldiers, thousands of school children and loyal citizens, he suggests that the train should not slow down, but follow tire ordinary time-table as fixed by the Government. The Mayor added that he noticed that the itinerary had been altered to include Pukekohe as a stopping place.-—(P.A.) (Many people will remember an. occasion of historical import and public rejoicing, years ago, when the news was broadcasted through New Zealand that ‘ 1 Feilding is calm.”)
