POINTS FROM OTHER LETTERS

E. S. Hayman cdtnmends, particularly with regard to the subject of women and war, Mrs M. Marshall’s letter on the message from UNO women delegates.

"EX-R.N.Z.R." thinks it would be better to olan the cropping of Hagley Park to help to stave off famine in Europe than to plan a motor road through it. "The space occupied by a football field,” he says, “could just about support for a year the 30 men who play on it for a day."

“Paralysis” suggests that the hundreds uf little children in prams and pushchairs or walking in Christchurch without hats, are in danger of some form of sunstroke, and that mothers should “know this and take precaution."

"Ne Quest! Eritis" says that "Mousikophilos" and others "don’t seem to realise how lucky they are. Christchurch has the best tram and bus service in New Zealand. Our trams carry twice as many people by using trailers; in rush hours they run just as often—more often than in Dunedin; and they are three times as comfortable with leather upholstery; there are more routes in proportion to the area of Christchurch, and the fares are cheaper.”

"Utility," endorsing "Returned Nurse's' views on a military hospital for incapacitated soldiers, says that hospital would “surely be better than a number of small memorials scattered here and there."
