Breach of Censorship.

“This is one of the worst cases that have come before me,” said Mr Luxford, S.M., in the Magistrates’ Court, Auckland, when Albert Tronson Garlick pleaded guilty to a breach of the censorship regulations. Garlick had written to his son overseas informing him of certain grounds and buildings taken over by the authorities, said the magistrate. He had written about everything he knew or could observe. Garlick said that he had written ,/what he thought would interest his son. A fine of £lO was imposed.

Kindergarten Entertainment. A novel entertainment in the form of a puppet show was given by Mrs Heymann of Lower Hutt on Saturday afternoon in .the Assembly Hall of Wairarapa College. Two stories were presented, the first being the “Rescue of Pinnochio,” followed by “Lolly Pop and the Toadstool.” Afternoon tea for the adults and ice cream for the children were served during the interval. The proceeds were in aid of the Masterton Free Kindergarten Association. New Coupon Books. Coupon books which are to be issued next Monday —six weeks earlier than originally scheduled —for the second half of the rationing year, will be handed over on production of the old ration book, which, however, will be retained by the holder in order to keep unused coupons till they are required for purchases. For the second half of the rationing year, the “O” coupons are to be used for clothing and footwear. “M’ coupons, from the first book can be carried over for use till the end of May next in conjunction with the “O” coupons in the second ration book. Sugar coupons, for which the registration of consumers is required, will be cancelled, instead of being cut out, as has been the past practice, after the issue of the new books. Under this system each retailer is placed on a quota based on the number of registered customers on his sugar list.
