THE HOME GUARD
Sir, —As a Home Guardsman since it s inception, I would like to pay tribute to Major Melrose for his outspoken comment', as reported in Monday's Herald. He deserves the thanks of all New Zealanders. I fully agree that we need inspiring leadership from the top. The Home Guardsmen have been very patient for a long time. All men able should be trained to use arms, and all sports meetings should be closed until the war is won. But we want orders and inspiration from the top. It is; our duty to our forces overseas, to our women and children, that we be able to handle arms and are ready to defend our country, come what may. E.H.
