POINTS FROM LETTERS

Complaint is made by "Dicky Sain", of Low Hutf hto Wellington the surface £in many place* greatly in needj£ c r>air but what is a constant and im answerable riddle to me is why is the bitumen not carried from side to side o£ the thus making an even surface right across instead o£ having loose metal and soil piled up-at the edge of the bituran' This kind of 'tiling obtains . m neariy all, if not all, of the roads hereabouts and I nave witnessed several aft falls fvom ™t°™yclf. *nd bikes through the machines skidding■when leaving the bitumen surface. . 1-ke coithere is ample room for them to pass. "All British" protests against a-sugges-HoTby members of - the Chamber. ,of Commerce that boys should accept, work atTTwcek. This would not be .muck more than tram fare at 3s a week, or the «™t of-a bicycle of boot repairs. Ihe holds that some members of cKers of commerce are as they advocate buying British goods,, but are themselves importers and. userJ of foreign manufactures. mmmm then can the writer speak of bitter experience," except with tongue cheek flation. ' , •Referring to distress amongst ex-sol-diers ''2nd Battalion Dint" writes:--"The' NiZ R.S.A. has a canteen fund ot £209,000., With this enormous, sunv one would think-that the soldiers would be SSSd for better than they are. I would other 'Diggers' who are up against it to. *arfc afresli, and thus lessen unemployment. Again, in reference to Poppy Day, "a stated that all the funds raised would be used for providing work for i returned soldiers over the winter months. Is this apart from the work of the Unemployment Board, and have the soldiers to apply to the secretary for work? I would lie to be enlightened on this.robiect by someone who is responsible for the distribution of these funds.
