Word was received in Carterton yesterday afternoon that when a goods ' train was pulling into the Kaiioke railway station one of the vans left the line and blocked the traffic.

Blinded Soldiers Fund. An explanation of the assistance rendered to blinded soldiers from funds' set up for the purpose is given by Mr R. E. Selby, honorary secretary of the Commercial Travellers’ and Warehousemen’s Blind Soldiers and jailors Fund, Nos. 1 and 2. Mr Selby points out that Mr Charles Henry Humphries, of Hilton Road, Carterton, who is at present an inmate of the Blind Institute,- Auckland. the first blinded soldier -in the present war, was reported from Auckland to have been assisted by the trustees of the Blind Soldiers Fund, “who still hold about £ll,OOO subscribed during the last war.” “To avoid any misconception,” states Mr Selby, “Mr Humphries has not been assisted by money raised for soldiers who were blinded in the 1914-18 war. There are two funds —the Commercial Travellers’ and Warehousemen’s Blind Soldiers and Sailors Fund for those blinded in the last war, and the Commercial Travellers’ and Warehousemen’s Blind Soldiers and Sailors Fund (No. 2) for those blinded in the present war. Mr Humphries received assistance from the latter fund.” Personal. Mr J. J. Taucher, of Carterton, has found it necessary to enter the Masterton Hospital for treatment. Mr H. T.
