MONEY ORDER POST OFFICES
COMPLICATIONS caused by Whakatane's growing pains have given rise to numerous problems which are exercising the minds of the leaders of our community and giving them considerable food for thought. Years ago when the post offices were established at Kopeopeo and Ohope, there was little thought that these centres would grow into anything more than a scattered collection of houses which they were then expected to serve. To-day, however, the entire position has altered. Both centres have grown beyond recognition. During the height of the holiday season, Ohope attracts thousands of visitors, many of them businessmen from, the cities. Because of the lack of a money-order post office many of these men are compelled to make otherwise unnecessary trips to town.. At King Street the small post office there serves the interests of an intensely populated suburban area nearly two miles distant from the fciain office The .time is surely here for the establishment of moneyorder offices at both these places.
