POINTS FROM OTHER LETTERS

“A Soldier’s Wife” supports other correspondents in affirming that in military camps there is a difference between the meals of officers and men. “Does Mr Holland know,” writes the correspondent, “that the officers have at. least three varieties of meat to choose from, while the men take what is given to them, and if this does not satisfy them, they have to go without.” “Senex” (Rangiora) expresses appreciation of the radio feature “Dad and Dave” and asks for the names of the actors. The writer adds: “We frequently get (over the radio) wholesale war revelations most helpful to Hitler, while the poor widow, incautiously writing to her son, gets fined.” “Rip Van Winkle” adds his protest about maintenance of the warrant of fitness fee for motor-cars at 2s 6d while the present reduced mileage travelled by cars obtains. The writer also suggests amendment of the hours of attendance at the testing station to enable the average worker to have his car tested without waste of petrol and tyres.
