A HAPPY EXPERIENCE.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —Your correspondent “ Worker,” in Saturday’s. issue, would try to make us believe that the men who went grass-seed-ing are all loafers but himself and mates. No doubt he has a very high opinion of himself and his mates. How they manage without him in the North Island, when he
comes down for his holiday, is a mystery; but I should like to impress on “Worker ” that there are as good men in Christchurch, walking about doing nothing, at the present time, as “Worker” and his mates, be they ever so good; and can work as honestly as he did—men who do not require the work at their doors, and they do' not loaf round the base of the historic lamp-post abusing the best of Governments, as he puts it. That remark would impress one with the idea that "Worker” was’ fishing for a billet.I—l 1 —I am, &c., ■ H. G. HERBERT,
