FLOWERS OF REMEMBRANCE.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —Anzao Day is approaching again and on that day, as is customary, flowers of remembrance will be placed on the Cenotaph as a token of regard for fallen comrades. May I appeal to the better nature of people asking them to abstain from handling the flowers and wreaths, which has the effect of dulling their freshness and beauty. Last year I was pained to see children, and even adults, from interest, no doubt, but thoughtlessly turning the flowers and wreaths over and over again. As a mother, 1 know you cannot place an adult head on a child’s shoulders, but often a word from mother or father will even restrain them. One does expect a little thought from adults, whom I know act with no hurtful intention, but with sheer thoughtlessness. Trusting your readers will credit me with the kindliest nature in writing.—l am, etL ''SPOIL NOT THEIR. BEAUTY. Palmerston North, April 24, 1935.
