You could inquire from the Mayor or Mayoress. Born Free.—What makes you think Mr O’Brien’s supporters would not want to reply? K.G.—None of those things; it is our (the public’s) demand for electric power. Veritas.—Too long; and you would be wise to frame your questions clearly and withhold comment until you get the answers. Michael Cunneen, 8.K.R., and Army on Campus.—We shall not be opening this column to discussion of the students’ proposal. Once Bitten, Twice Shy.—No space to re-open recent correspondence on the dog nuisance. You could write to the Paparua County Council. Onlooker.—Not as simple as it might seem. The laws of divorce and Inheritance, among others would have to be changed. Persons in this position should take legal advice. B.S.M.D.—Certainly there are problems; but most schools and parents think the trips are worth while. If you disagree you could raise the matter at your school’s meeting of householders.
