ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS

" Observer," Dunedln.—The subject on which you write has been discussed ad nauseam. A. H. C—No such statement was ever made. " Not a Coward." Port Chalmers.—Your letter introduces an undesirable personal note and the publication of It might lead to legal proceedings. " Tell Me," Waihola.—An appllcunt for relief work or sustenance may have to stand down for a fortnight, but If his financial position or family circumstances warrant II he may be granted immediate relief, in tliis particular, applications are dealt with on their merits. Where applicants reregister for relief after being ofr relief work for less than three months, applications arc immediately granted. Normally, dependent children of relief workers are those up to the age of 16 years, but on a special application children over 10 years and up to 20 who are unemployed, Infirm, or attending a secondary school may be regarded as dependent for the purposes of assisting relief workers. M., Dunedln.—Since answering your question a few days ago two readers have favoured us with information concerning Loch Bulu. One, writing from Hillgrove. savs that " Loch Rule Is In Suthcrlandshlre, about one mile in length. The northern shore is part of the Sutherland Estate, the southern that of the Carnegie Skeibs Estate." Another, writing from Dunedln, states: " There Is a Loch Rule in Mull. It is on the south-east coast of Mull. The loch Is about 14 miles long." He encloses a newspaper clipping which mentions " Lochbule Estate. Mull," part of which Is apparently " the farm at Lcchruada." In " Place Names of Scotland " Lochbuie in Mull is spelt as one word.
