Those Blackout Torches
Sir, —Your correspondent of November 12 began his bull's rush into the china-shop of fault-finding by stating: “Apparently I have got this blackout business all wrong.” He has. A blackout does not aim at “a total absence of light,” but at the elimination of revealinff light. Essential traffic needs light, as do certain E.P.S. worker’s. Successive practices will teach better control of that light, but till mock alarms are succeeded by the real thing E.P.S. patrolmen are not likely to risk injury on dark pathways in order to please idle hilltop critics. Your correspondent offered me two lines from a hymn. Allow me to present him with one line from Shakespeare: “He jests at scars that never felt a wound.”—-I am, etc., WHERE WAS MOSES? .. Wellington, November 12.
