CREDIT WHERE IT IS DUE

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —As a visitor to Wellington I would like to express my appreciation of services rendered and favours received from all classes of your Public Service, police, tramwaymen, Exhibition attendants, and the general public. No matter of whom we inquired our way we were never once made to feel we were a nuisance, and residents often went' out of their way to point out our destinations and other particulars. If every other person who came to see members of our special forces or to visit your wonderful Exhibition can return home to their various destinations with memories as happy and as grateful as ours, I feel sure it will be the means of deciding lots of others to come along to enjoy a visit to your city and seeing the Exhibition. The city's public gardens attracted my attention as I am very fond of flowers, and those little patches of colour everywhere are very pleasing to the eye, and happy children everywhere make one feel that life is very sweet. I shall return to my little country home with memories of a very pleasant holiday. Once more, Wellington, I would like to say thank you all, and I hope you all realise that when you patiently assist a stranger you are'giving your lovely city the best advertisement possible.—l am, etc.,

MRS. E. WOOLS, Redwoods Valley, Nelson.
