TRIBUTE TO BRITISH PEOPLE
Sir, —The Canterbury Rugby Union has a unique opportunity, when publishing its programme for the second test, to pay a tribute to the British people who fought jt out in “their finest hour,” and particularly to those Rugby players who fell, whether dead or disabled, in history's most tragic hour. This tribute need not be too mawkish, nor yet too prosaic; but a fit tribute to the British players who grew up from the age of about 11 in all the wrack and the turmoil of those terrible years. The Otago Union, on Saturday, failed in this respect. Let us see if Canterbury can do better.— Yours, etc.,
_ R. M. MAWSON. Dunedin, May 28, 1950.
