Seeing the World New Zealanders Abroad

A LESSON FOR TO-DAY. The young x men of New Zealand, as a result of the war, are making themselves at home in every quarter of the globe, and making every ocean their battlefield. Our soldiers and airmen are being sent on amazing “Cook’s Tours” on almost every continent; they write home from Syria and Libya, from Russia, and Fiji, from Canada and Burma, and from lands that were only “names on the map” a few years ago. Wherever they go they will find one thing in common—ah appreciation among the majority of men of alcoholic beverages. In every age and clime the good fellowship associated) with their enjoyment has been a part of daily life. However, even good things should be enjoyed in moderation. In New Zealand, at the present time, this fact needs to be kept in mind by all patrons of the licensed house. A small minority, by abuse of privileges allowed by law, is able to bring undeserved disrepute on large sections of the public. Wise people enjoy their drinks with reasonable moderation; this sensible virtue should become universal.
