COUPON SAYING
Sir,—The postmasters answer to *L.8.8.” is a masterpiece of circumlocution (as are most official answers these days). I imagine I am not singular in that I hesitate to surrender my coupons until the period for which they are available has nearly expired. The grocer and the butcher have received the equivalent of these coupons, which should be on hand and available to meet the demand for the next period, for which the supplier will receive much less. Then Igo back to, usual consumption and my butcner and grocer are again adjusted. It seems a very cumbersome and, in the case of meat particularly, wasteful method of giving help, to say nothing of the cost.—Yours, etc., PLAIN JANE. May 1, 1946. [The Chief Postmaster, Christchurch, had no comment to make on this letter.]
