A PROTEST

A PROTEST

I To The Editor 1 Sir,—Just between you and X and ihe bed-post, I do think someone ought to protests to this Government, that is doing so much for everybody—J mean on behalf of we fairly well-to-do householders. My milkman, for instance, when I owed him for over 6 months'’ milk, had the cheek to ask me to keep my credit within bounds—or words to that effect, you know. Of course, we live in a nice house, have the telephone and the usual amenities, and of course my husband does something in the city, and we have a car, so why should an ordinary tradesman ask for his money. This protest of mine, Mr Editor, of course applies to the butcher and grocer. as well as the milkman. Fortunately. we can always go to another

butcher or baker, and put the over, anxious one in his place: I don’t think that's caddish, do you. sir—you see what I mean? And it isn’t as though these trades-people earned their moneys: you can see, Mr Editor, that they do practically nothing for it. I did hear, at our club, of a fellow who. after fruitlessly sending in bills for 12 months, had the audacity to ask a debt-collecting firm Jo collect or sue. Oh. what cheek! My word, I do hope the Government will notice this, sir. and then I feel that this little effort will not have been in vain.—l am, etc., (Mrs) KUT-A-DASH). Nelson, 4th May.
