Would you mind warning motorists, as they most likely travel too fast to notice it themselves” (pyrites a Tauranga correspondent of the- New Zealand Herald) at tire Taurapga end of the Wairoa bridge (sopietimes called Jordan), there is a board notice with a nicely painted instruction to motorists to remove the chains from their wheels before travelling on the ‘mettled’ roads. Now, why should this be made ? Is it because on passing this ‘bridge you enter the district called Bethlehem, and passing through Bethlehem you enter Judea, and so on to Tauranga?. Js it for. the same reason that Joshua had to remove liis shoes from off his feet 011 passing Jordan, because it was holy? Parts of this road are holy enough. (Jur road being ‘metalled’ may be the reason of so many breakdowns on it. At this moment there is a light wagon containing long ladders used by electric light linesmen which is a wreck. The cause I do not know, but presume the ladders committed les majeste by scratching its crown, or it may have been a revolt by Judea at this mod err. innovation.” One gathers that in parts of this Judea there has been a healthy revolt against electric domination, but, as one might expect, on purely economic grounds, Judea seems to' know how many kilowatts makes five. One. of course can account for j the notice about metalled roads. The motorists would never notice the metal otherwise. Imagine their chagrin. :f. after ploughing through miles of mud. they discovered they had been on metal all the time! Why put up with pain?
