The “ Otago Daily Times” says: The statement published by us yesterday, on the authority of a motorist who had arrived from Christchurch, that the roads were in a very bad state, is not substantiated by local motorists who have recently covered the same route. The local motorists state that there are three bad sections on the road—from the Rangitata bridge to Ashburton, from Rakaia to Dunsandel, and from Waikouaiti to Dunedin—but they point out that these parts have never been in very good order. Moreover, the sections named are quite negotiable by motorists. The greater part of the road is in good order, and motorists should have no difficulty in traversing this highway. Motorists are advised not to negotiate the Selwvn Ford, but to make a detour of about seven miles and cross the Selwvn bridge. EVERYTHING AT MIXSON’R.

*• To anyone who has spent some years in Australia and returns to New Zealand there is at once noticeable a remarkable difference in national outlook, said Brother Borgia, director of the Sacred Heart College, at the prize-giving ceremonv at Auckland. *' Whereas in /Australia,” he said, ** there is a fine, sturdy, self-reliant national spirit developing rapidlv, independent altogether ol politics, in New Zealand such a spirit is conspicuous by its absence. In the eyes of many. New Zealand is still merely a British colony, which must take all its inspiration from England —not a seli-Governing Dominion with wonderful resources and a national destiny of its own. I think a great deal more could be done in the schools to foster in the hearts of young New Zealanders o love of their native land.”
An experienced whale-fisher, now on a visit to Palmerston North is of opinion that the industry should cease because of the danger of the whale becoming extinct, states the “ Manawatu Daily Times.” A hundred years ago, with crude appliances, New Zealand produced an immense quantity of valuable oil. Now, with the most' modern equipment and increased value, of the products, 149 whales secured in a year yielded less than £20,000 worth. A fleet of well-equipped vessels was sent to New Zealand from Norway a few years ago, but they failed to pay their way. Seals are protected, but there is greater need to save the whale from extinction.
