SNOW IN NORTH CANTERBURY
Sir,—"Snowbound" apparently has not had much experience of snow when he gives the Amuri County Council praise for opening its main roads at once in the recein snowstorm. For one thing, snow is no novelty in the Amuri; and for another, there was no snow worth mentioning in those parts, the snow petering out after Culverden. If "Snowbound" lived on the Inland road to Kaikoura in the Amuri he would know what snow really is and what'it is like to be cut off. Added to that, he would have to put up with the unbridged Mason river, a menace all the year round, and the dangerous state ol a deviation on this main highway, both bad blots on the county's reputation Yours, etc., „ „ A TRAVELLER. July 29, 1945.
