Sir,—“P.J.A." is in error. Our wonderful seamen are not strictly the salt of the earth but of the sea. Driving down from the North Island yesterday I dropped in at the hotel at Cheviot and there, after a sweaty day’s work amid the rolling North Can-
terbury country, were the salt of New Zealand’s earth. Looking at their faces and the beauty of the hills shadowed by the setting sun, I thanked God for the salt of our earth and 10 o’clock closing.—Yours, etc., A. B. CEDARIAN. December 18, 1968.
