COMMUNITY SPIRIT.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —Surely it was a high-handed action and discourteous in the extreme for the Pio Pio W.D.F.U. to refuse to stand down for another organisation for just one day. It has always been the unwritten law in Pio Pio that there should be no overlapping. The activity that engages the W.D. every sale day is the selling of their produce for their own personal benefit, hence the reason of their action is obvious. So far as the community is concerned the W.D. has not yet justified its existence. We never hear of work undertaken for others, but perhaps they keep their good deeds quiet. They are not the hub of the district, only a spoke in the wheel, and it is to be hoped that in the future they will let good feeling and community soirit prevail. Play the '•ame and keep the goodwill of the public.—l am, etc., COURTESY. Pio Pio, 7/7/32. (When the writer refers to "personal benefit," we take it that he means the personal benefit of the W.D.F.U. and not the individual. We publish the above with this understanding.—Editor.)
