CIVIC APATHY.
To the Editor of the “Timaru Herald.” Sir. —May I congratulate you on your stirring editorials calling the citizens to a sense of their duty; and may we ask that you from • time to time (and particularly early before the elections of future years), raise your voice against the. apathy which is so much to be deplored. Where are the leading business men whoso success is to some extent bound lip with the wise ruling of a town or small borough ? They will be the first to cry out if women arise and offer their services. There will be the worn-out old cry, “Tho place for women is the home.” But surely it will bo the duty of the women to seo to it that elections for such inii portant bodies do not go uncontested again. Hoping others will write further in this matter and awaken more interest in the civic life. —I cm. etc., INTERESTED. April 22, 1925.
