LETTER'S TO THE EDITOR

Mrs i,£: and rotten wood; the adult beetles feed oh. flowers. WOMEN’S LAND SERVICE Sir,—A lot is being said about toe shortage of domestic workers to toe country and to toe effect ...toat , toe Women’s Land Service will not be popular while toe farmers have toe girls’ help and their wives have none. No farmer’s wife is asked to be maid of all work to any land Sirl. AU toe is asked to do is to copk for her. Weil, would she not do that if her husband employed a boy or man? . . . I myself, do not blame any girl for not taking up domestic work. They talk about training domestics. . What they ought to do first is to train the employers. All. toe luck to toe worid to any giri willing to go out 8 s girl and do her best No person can do more, not even the farmer s wife. Yours, wjpj, WITH HELP. December 2, 1943. LINCOLN RAILWAY CROSSING Sir,—A fatal accident was narrowly averted at Lincoln yesterday when a full car, travelling at 20 on toe rough, loose shingle road, slowed down _to avoid the well-known bad. bump on toe railway crossing. The experienced driver saw the engine by chance,' on the south side of the two-storey vacant building, just in time to jam on his brakes. On account of the wind and noise of the loose metal, he hardly distinguished the whistle of the engine till it was nearly upon him.—Yours, ® etC " NOT A RESIDENT. November 24, 1943. [The Railways Department and the Springs County Council had no comment to make on this letter.] BOMBING OF TOWNS Sir,—Your correspondent, N. M.BeU. is a few years late with his protest. It is the turn now of the other side to show that “they can take it.” There is every chance now that the Prussians and the Japanese will be able for a few hundred years to appreciate toe meaning of the word peace.—Yours, etc., ' . _ > T.A.S. December 3, 1943. Sir,—N. M. Bell deprecates toe Berlin raws and would enlist our sympathy for bombed Berlin babies. I maintain that these babies are, or rather were, future Prussians, who in 1963 could have made munitions, murdered, and raped. They and their little yellow cousins, the Japanese, are better exterminated. Their species is subhuman. Wipe them out, as one would wipe out disease.—Yours, etc., 1 • ANTI-GERM. December 3, 1943.. Sir,—Does Mr Bell approve (a). Hitler’s ideology and (b) its global aim and implementation? Would a passive acquiescence (rather than a retributive attitude) in regard to bombing of towns, poison gas. and other forms of frightfulness be likely to remedy this ideology and prevent its implements- ; tion?—Yours, etc., RETURNED SOLDIER. ■ December 3, 1943. EGG MARKETING Sir,—Does Mr T. Gill, proprietor of the limaru egg floor, think his eggstamping machine will produce any more eggs? The Internal Marketing Division stopped stamping eggs two years ago; yet Mr T Gill wants, to make it a punishable offence to buy or sell unstamped eggs; Well, the egg producers will have to make a stand, or maybe they will soon, be building concentration camps for Ahe egg producers. A lead from the Hon. 8., Rob-, erts. Minister of Internal Marketing, on the economic strangulation of toe poultry industry, would not be out of place.—Yours, etc., . ■ ■ - OLD GAME.
