YOUTH OF TODAY
Sir,-I am quite in «g^ en J with your correspondent Dad. l too think the youth of today have far too much money. : : A week or so ago I was sitting m a picture theatre and just behind me were two children about 13 and. 12 respectively. While waiting for the picture to start they were hungrily devouring chocolates, not a few, but a box which costs somewhere in the vicinitv of 4s 4d. Not satisfied with that they had several "comics" to while away the time. Of course they may have been visitors, but they were not of the Maori race. I just wondered how much of our hard-earned money went in taxes to pay for that afternoon's entertainment for two children who would have been better at school.—l am, etC " "MUM." '
