Free Kindergarten Association. At a meeting of the Masterton Free Kindergarten • Association, final arrangements were made for the annual meeting to be held in Ihe Masterton West School on March 24.

Mr and Mrs Wingate have kindly made their garden at “Kingswell,” available for the occasion. Manpower Problem. Addressing W.A.A.C. cadet officers at a passing out ceremony at Wellington on Saturday, Lieut.-General E. Puttick, the Comamnder-in-Chief of the New Zealand Forces, said that new manpower proposals mean a considerable readjustment of military forces. While the risk of attack existed New Zealand had set up a defence system which meant the diversion of men from war winning activities. It was emphatically wrong to maintain that position longer than was necessary. The transfer of men out of the army had meant a great relief to the economic problem. It was essential to get every man available for the industrial power of the nation, and women, whether employed full time or part time, would be valuable to the army now.
