Festive strangers dub it dull, but- they do not' :umiflrst&i.d. It is only different. Close by is New Zealand's south ernnlost port of The Bluff, where the railway system ends. Said a prominent railway official last year, 'I believe, in No-license.- It is- a goodthing. Down at the Bluff we had an immense 't-hed, and 'lib 'goods to fill it; it was really iri t'ie waj(,, this immense, empty shed, and '''we thought of pulling it down.- But, they got' No-license at Invercargill/ Now our big'shed is stacked with cases of beer and cases^of wjiisky —liquor -for Invercargill. Instead of an" eyesore, we have an asset. This no * license is a good 'thing."'***
