Ladies and Geniiemenz- 1t is a. pleasure to again meet with you and to present our annual report.

In recalling the happenings of 1945 we must first refer to the dis- asterous tire which occurred in the early Spring. It destroyed the large. beautiful Main Building and Paton Pavilion. the pmlliry building and damaged several other buildings as well as fences and the east blescher. It was a. sad sight indeed to witness and we particularly re- gret the loss of a building which was a land mark in the memory of our people for over half a cen- fury.

As soon as we could we made ar- rangements with M1". Scxhurmsn and 00., Lid, to build a combined fox show and poultry building. Our plans envisaged a structure that would be the best of its kind to be found anywhere. You are all fam- iliar with it and if is not ocesss y

Election Being ileid in New Zealand Today

1

AUCKLAND, N. 2., Nov. 26- (CPl-New Zealanifs electors to- morrow decide whether to return the long-established Labor Gov- ernment or to elect the Niwonai Party,

The elections actually’ started today when ballottlng took place for four Maori seats in the 80- seaf House of Representatives. All went to the government. '

Although the National Party hoped to gain at least one and possibly two of the Maori seats. the results were not unexpected because Maorls with large famil- ies have beenfltted heavily from the government's social security family benefit payments.

Both Labor and National lead- ers have issued statements ex- pressing confidence over tomor- row's major vote. which will take place on the 11th anniversary cf Labor's accession to office.

Between them the Labor and National parties held every seat in the last legislature, with Labor representatives in 44 seats mrl the Nationalists 35. One seat was va- cant. No third party emerged in any strength during the election campaign.

The main issue of the election is the Socialist policy cf the gov- emment. Coincident with the elec- ti-on a poll will be held on the linunr issue. Electors will be askcd to vote for continuance of the present liquor system ooerstid by private firms, total prohibition or stale nurchsse and control.

In New Zealand. simple majority voting’ is used and no matter how many candidates stand far any sent. the one with most vof-cs i-s

From points as far west as the Pacific coast came reports of lack of fuel to keep the country's halls of learning open. Denver's public and Roman Catholic schools and Colorados Women's College already have closed while the University of Colorado will shut. down Satur- day.

Public schools in Utah County al- so were closed as fihc Mountain Fuel Supply Company conserved its reserves for domestic users and hospitals.
