MEN WHOSE TIME IS GOLD
Speed in flight/is not only a mechanical wonder—a field in which new records are regularly made-^-but also a commodity for sale. So far, it seems to be—at any rate in New Zealand—a commodity'saleable only to busy men, to men whose presence means life or jdeath (the doctor) or whose time means money (the wrestler). It may seem to be a commentary upon the times that the very busy man, the man who must fly to cover all his engagements, is. a ring artist; but, after all; the ring must not be denied its due. Does it not now ornament itself with members of the medical fraternity and even with scions of the old Hungarian (or is it Austrian?) aristocracy? Flying wrestlers, motoring Ministers, and a train-or-tram public leave the pedestrian Very lonely. He watches "the rest of the world go by. But speed in the air does not endanger his life, as does speed on the road. The day" of the air-hog is still to come. It might be safer if our speeding remains ,the privilege of the few whose time is golden.
