On the 25 metre band (short wave) tonight at 7 o’clock the names of .Allied prisoners of war will be broadcast by the Vatican Station, according to an announcement heard by Mr W. G. Perry, of Masterton, on Tuesday night. Orchestral Concert. The opening orchestral . concert of the 1941 season will take place in the Opera House next Tuesday evening. The box plan is now open at the Arts and Crafts and patrons are advised to book their seats. The programme includes some request numbers and has been compiled to suit all tastes. It is hoped that there will be a good attendance of members and the general public. Attitude of Appeal Boards.

An echo of the reported statement made by Mr J. A. Lee in the House of Representatives on Friday was heard at a sitting of the No. 1 Armed Forces Appeal Board when the chairman, Mr Orr Walker, S.M., asked an appellant if he found any member of the board “ferocious.” Appellant replied that he did not. Mr Orr Walker said he would be pleased to bring up the matter of “gross misrepresentation made by a public man against a member of the board.” Mr Lee was reported to have said so many people seemed to have been appointed to tribunals who had not been soldiers in the last war, and in Auckland the Labour representative on the tribunal seemed to have taken up a most ferocious attitude towards conscientious objectors.
