Patriotic Administration
The salaries and office expenses, with the exception of office equipment and other realisable assets, in connection with the administration of the National Patriotic Fund are being borne by the Government. This was announced by Mr G. A. Hayden, secretary of the National Patriotic Fund Board, at a meeting of the board’s standing committee. What is a Receptionist? A witness in the Supreme Court at Christchurch was described as a receptionist, and the term brought a protest from His Honour, Mr Justice Northcroft, who was on the Bench. “From time to time, we have to put up with that horrid word ‘contact’ or ‘contacted,’ and others like it,” he said to Mr E. S. Bowie, whose witness was concerned. “Please do not make the Court responsible for the word ‘receptionist.’ Is there not some other way of describing the witness’ duties?” “I hasten to assure Your Honour that I am not responsible for the term,” said Mr Bowie.
