CORRESPONDENCE
BACK OF BEYOND .. (To the Editor.).. .. Sir, —In your issue of March 17 a correspondent writes ridiculing a Wanganui motorists’ impressions of Upper Waitotara, Makakaho in particular. Your correspondent states that motor ears run 10 miles up the Makakaho. Perhaps he does not know that there are settlers living miles beyond where the road is, and they only have a track over the hilly country. The Wanganui motorist was correct in stating that all goods, including sewing machines and stoves, are taken in on pack horses; also these settlers are very isolated and too far away to avail themselves of the pleasures of the social life at Ngamatapouri. —I am, etc., ONE WHO HAS KEEN THERE.
