British Milk Supply.

Milk will be sold to the public in Britain free of restriction as to quantity for five weeks beginning tomorrow. The production is well in excess of the output during the corresponding period of last year. Southerly Gale.

A particularly strong southerly wind sprang up during last nigjit and continued in the Wairarapa today. The wind was very gusty at times and judging by the bite in the air snow has fallen on the Tararuas.

Party In Ranges. A party of men left Masterton yesterday morning for Mitre Peak, to recover the bodies of the two airmen who lost their lives on the mountain when their plane crashed in January. Among those in the party are Constable E. B. McCallum and Mr Trass. No doubt the present southerly would hold up their work. It was intended to bury the bodies at a convenient spot in the ranges. Increased Wool Price.

According to a district sheep farmer, the increase of 15 per cent in the price paid by the British Government for New Zealand wool means that the standard price in New Zealand currency for the 1942-43 clip will be about 14.0875 d per lb. The 15 per cent increase represents a rise of 1.8375 d per lb. The price paid for the 1941-42 clip was about 12.25 d per lb, New Zealand currency. Practice Cancelled.

The Saint Andrew Society draws attention, by an advertisement appearing in this issue, to the fact that the usual fortnightly dance practice arranged for this evening, has been cancelled.
