TIRING AND WASTEFUL QUEUES
People fire beginning - to wonder if long queues, which are so tiring, are to become a permanent feature of life in New Zealand. Lining up for cigarettes and meals has become a regular habit, and the other morning a queue hundreds of yards long was noticed waiting for film outside a Wellington shop. People were there long before Ihe shop opened. At a time when so much is heard of the need of increased production' one cannot help thinking of the great economic waste and the tremendous loss of time, • to say nothing of frayed tempers and their effect on the nervous system, represented by these queues. It is a real problem and some attempt to solve it is over- " due.
