Points From Letters
Heavier penalties for persons convicted of bookmaking are advocated by “Alan in the Street” (Palmerston North). He says: “The essence of citizenship is observance of, and respect for, the law, and so it would seem fitting that if persons regard the law with contempt and defiance, sterner penalties are called for.” Those who use the Paekakariki Hill Road should pay for it, is the suggestion made by “Hutt County Ratepayer,” who adds, “a toll gate should be' erected so that users of the road should be compelled to contribute toward its upkeep.” In view of the Government’s appeal for brass and copper, “Common Sense” considers that, brass buttons and badges should be no longer issued to troops. He points out that “When troops go overseas all bright gear is blackened to assist the men to keep concealed.”
