COMFORTS FOR SOLDIERS
(To The Editor) Sir, —May I thank you for publishing this my third letter on the subject of comforts for soldiers. I consider “Eair Both Ways” that you are splitting straws when you say that Canon Weadon must be under the impression that all t he men billetted in the Bank Building belong to the Signal Corps. I merely said that I considered the Bank Buildings to give adequate comfort compared with camp conditions. As for your suggestion that I supply an armchair and sofa, you are barking up the wrong tree. The cash I have to spare has a better place in the patriotic funds than buying such articles. No, “Fair Both-Ways,” I haven’t a sofa or armchair stuck in my gizard, to use your own picturesque language. I consider yeur choice of “old sayings” a little unfortunate. Seeing you have allowed personalities to creep into your correspoiMence I have no alternative but te sign myself for the last thne: FAIR PLAY. (Paeroa, 4:8:42.
