Air E. O. Dann, formerly a resident of Christchurch and now of Jolinsonville, near Wellington, has written ns follows, to the Mayor :—‘ ‘ I notice in to-day’s 1 Dona inion ' that you intend to move towards placing the Avon under a Board of Control, with a view towards the beautification and deepening of the river. 'While you are about it, how about checking the various films, who drain into the river, from polluting it? I believe your boyhood was npt passed in Christchurch city, or you would remember the Avon and the Heathcote a*s rivers of clear water. What are they now, especially the Heathcote? An offence both to the eyes and nostrils. It is not right that any firm should, for private gain, be allowed to pollute a public watercourse.' You would confer a benefit on the present and future generations of Christ- , church residents if you had all pollution of the two rivers prevented by law. As an object lesson of the results of tannery drainage, I would ask you to take out some pi pi a from the sand near Shag Rock. You will find them of a deep orange colour. Go round to the open New Brighton beach and take some from thsre, and you will find they are transparent.” Women will Ho interested to learn that Watsons’ have just received a special consignment of Stainless Knives from Sheffield. The stainless steel is made by Firth, which ensures permanent wear. These knives are of a very high quality and are being offered at less than pre-war prices. There are only 48 dozen of each variety, so an early purchase will save disappointment. The Dessert Knives are priced at 30s half dozen ; and the table knives at 35s half dozen. These prices are the lowest in New Zealand. Pay an early visit to Watsons’ and see the knives with the very fine quality and fine appeara noe.
