Say It With Writing

Lower Hutt's borough foreman has been dismissed because the Council believed be hart spoken disrespectfully of a Councillor. Tlie voting- was 6, to 2 against the foreman. ' The foreman admitted having- said that something; stated was : "a coldblooded lie." IC that was all the. foreman said, it was a comparatively meek, and mild expression. It is quite uncommon nowadays' for a man to describe what he deems to bo. a. lie as a "cold-blooded" lie. Perhaps he was misreported! A "eold-bluoded lie" sounds so much ■like— ■ • Anyway, the voting was six against and two for the foreman. • ' Moral: Don't speak out of your turn. If. you must speak, typewrite it, -so that one word won't sound like another.
