Borough Rates.

An additional charge.of 10 per cent will be added to all Masterton borough rates not paid by Thursday, March 26.

Saving Paper. J. M. A. Hott, a member of the National Council for the Reclamation of Waste Material, will visit Masterton on Monday. He will meet the chairman and members of the Wairarapa Reclamation Committees to stress the importance of saving paper. Waste Cotton Rag Needed.

The Navy is in urgent need of waste cotton rag and the task of making the collection has been entrusted to the Girl Guides’ Association. A house to house collection will be made by the local Girl Guides commencing on Monday, and householders are asked to cooperate in this work by having parcels toady when the Guides call. “Deplorable Waste.”

Apples from a Greytown orchard exhibited at a meeting yesterday of the Wairarapa Executive of the Women’s Division were described as not being of first-class quality and in consequence were not allowed to be sold, under Government price, except for processing. As a result hundreds of cases of relatively good apples were destroyed. The opinion was expressed that such apples could be used in schools or for soldiers’ meals and that the present waste was deplorable.

Urgent Government Work. The Masterton Builders and Allied Trades have formed themselves into an association for the purpose of preventing overlapping in connection with urgent Government work and also in connection with work of a patriotic nature. Mr W. Rigg is the chairman, and Mr Madden the secretary. It was through this organisation that arrangements were put in hand for urgent work such as for the hospital and this organisation has arranged to erect the shop in front of the Hotel Midland in connection with the patriotic appeal.
