AIR' FORCE LEAVE
I think "Ten-bar" fails to grasp the position in his criticism of "One Who Knows." Many of our Air Force stations close on Saturday noon until Monday morning, and surely there is no reason why such men who are stationed within reach of their homes should not spend that day and a half at home with their wives and families. Much better for all concerned than this hanging about the streets in strange towns of which surely we Auckland citizens see enough to realise it is the duty of us all to do our utmost to prevent. When there are empty seats in our trains and the railway officials are agreeable, why should the Air Department object? I, like many others, am at a loss to understand it; surely every effort should be made to bring the men who wish to come home when they are off duty; soon enough they will be gone, many never to return. 1 make 110 mention of their meagre annual leave, nor the loss of it. ONE WHO KNOWS AND SUFFERS
