CARTERTON

E.P.S. STEADY FLOW OF ENROLMENTS. (“Times-Age” Special.) There has been a steady flow of enrolments in the Emergency Reserve Corps. In the borough, over one hundred and fifty forms have been handed in to the Town Clerk, Mr P. A. Cole. Mr E. T. Beaven, County Clerk, has received a similar number. The period of enrolment has been extended for 14 days. This extension of time will give settlers in the country a better chance to enrol, because since the petrol restrictions came into force they visit Carterton only on a Friday.
