SUNDAY FLYING.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —I notice in a recent issue of your paper an article headed “Flying on Sunday,” written by some religious association. I would not hesitate to say that their views on the subject are not only unreasonable but narrow-minded. The public in general greatly appreciate Sunday flying, it being a day when they get a chance to forget work, and, besides being able to enjoy the sun and fresh air, get a chance to see some of the developments of man’s great achievement, “the aeroplane.” What’s right for one man may be wrong for another, and w r e all love free wills. There is no more labour attached to aeroplanes than Sunday motoring, football, etc. The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. A large portion of the population find Sunday the only time to forget the cares of life and, I ask: Why shouldn’t the. ? We should rather thank the Hamilton Airways for the considerable trouble they take to give the public a chance to appreciate the “art of flying.”—l am, etc., R. W. BALL. Urenui, July 12.
