PATRIOTIC SOCIETY MEETING OF COMMITTEE. (“Times-Age" Special.) A meeting of the Patriotic Society’s general committee was held last night. Mr, A. S. Kilsby presided over a good attendance. It was decided to accept the offer of the Masterton Committee to pack the unaddressed patriotic parcels. It was resolved to co-operate with the W.W.S.A. in connection with the boarding of service men who are on leave. A request that dancing be permitted in the Service Club on Sunday nights was refused. POLITICAL CAMPAIGN NATIONAL PARTY CANDIDATE AT PAHAUTEA. The National Party candidate for Wairarapa, Mr J. J. Maher, was in good form when he addressed a meeting at the Pahautea Hall on Tuesday afternoon. There were about 30 electors present. Mr C. C. Corlet presided. Mr Maher dealt with many aspects of the Labour Government’s administration, and gave it as his opinion that there was a very grave responsibility on the electors at this election to see that the right men were returned, so that a correct balance as to the rights and privileges of all sections of the community would not be in jeopardy. The candidate stressed the rights of the people to the Courts of Justice, and pointed out how committees could be set up with all kinds of power and jurisdiction, under which system there could be no appeal to the judicial courts as established under the British Constitution.

The following were the results of the matches played on the Gum Grove links yesterday afternoon for the Jeffrey Trophy: —Mrs McGill defeated Mrs Batchelor; Mrs Pope defeated Mrs Elbe; Miss Williams defeated Mrs Donald.
