POINTS FROM OTHER LETTERS
“Looker On” is disgusted by reports of broken bottles after V-E Day and the "more appalling” sight of “the condition of youths and young women.” “It is quite evident,” he writes, “that the Government has not the backbone to tell this trade to close up, as all the others were doing.” “Pop Gun" suggests that a shoot of Canadian geese on Lake Ellesmere should be arranged to provide food for’ distribution on the Continent, supports H. Scott in advocacy of cleaning up rubbish on city streets and following the example of Brisbane in inflicting a fine on persons who drop titter. ' “Admirer” compliments the Corona-tion-Selwyn street shopkeepers and business people on their V-E Day decorations and the district on the absence of vandalism. “Thatisso" agrees with “Isitnot" about the poor quality of electrical goods made in New Zealand. “The mushroom factories that have sprung up in New Zealand since the war began” he writes, “have a good deal to learn yet to be quite perfect.”
