NEW ZEALAND BETTING AND DRINKING
Sir, —In Victoria’s day were not poets, actresses, factory girls and artists regarded as differing slightly from ordinary mortals? The rest having achieved status, does residue of doubt remain, making difficulty for artists in New Zealand? Do atmospherically antique opinions linger to cloud 100 years of secular education, or is it a result of the same period of religious influence, minus appreciation of the necessity of integration of artists and their work in full social, cultural and industrial life, while the good and beautiful kingdom of the Lord’s Prayer is daily invited? Appreciating the full report of the Rev. C. L. Clements’s sermon, if words are to have t their rightful meaning in serious question (not quibble) why “bovine”? Did ever sporting, active New Zealanders resemble placid, non-steak-chewing, beer drinking, gambling, butter-eating, or even innocent, non smoking cow? —Yours, etc., HUMBLE PIE. March 10, 1953.
