BRIGADE MEETING NO TEAM FOR DEMONSTRATION. ("Times-Age” Special.) The Greytown Volunteer Fire Brigade last night decided not to send a team to the New'Zealand Demonstration. Most of the members are engaged in the fruit industry, and the demonstration comes at the busy time. The brigade, however, will send a delegate to the conference. The electrical fire alarm will in future be used instead of the bell. The siren will be tested at noon each day. Labour Party Branch.
