POINTS FROM OTHER LETTERS

“Plain Jane” suggests that women could take out an extra savings bond by having their hair -shingled or bobbed instead of washing “from two to five hours, getting their hair sizzled up.’ “All the hair salon girls could go out and help on the farms, . . .. Even Londpn mannequins are driving tractors in Great Britain.’’ "C.V.H.” writes: “The suggestion made by D. P. Mahoney that metropolitan clubs should put on a race for maiden pacers would not receive any support from the racing public. People who attend the big meetings want to see the best horses, ones that have proved themselves. Who wants to see a lot of unknown steeds racing, some driven by old men near three score and ten. The right place at the moment for these horses is not pulling their owners or trainers round the training track in a sulky, but in a spring cart or hooked to a plough doing something useful that will help win the war.” Norton Wright expresses the hope that when the new world order is established after the war, snobbery will have no part in it. "I could never see,” he writes, “why men and women holding certain positions should think and carry on as if they were better than their fellows.”
