AFTER THE CARNIVAL

Sir,—lt seems that Well Wisher" is a "hit and run" raider.. Having occupied some of your valuable space with two letters in which he endeavoured to ridicule my contentions.,, he attempts to cause bad feeling between the Strand retailers and other retailers and then he scoots away, bidding me good-bye «• Good-bye then, Mr (or Miss) Another Well Wisher." No doubt, some of those who really do have the welfare of the Carnival at ! heart will have what I had tcr say and will keep it in view for next New Year's EVe. To these people I would say once again: Remember that the country people who get worth-while cheques and work long hours are the best folk to entertain at your «arnivo). Entertain then* then where they foregather (Jjvhichf is in the Strand). Do not send the children on route marches disguised as processions, and do be liberal with gifts for the children in the streets. At New Year the people from outlying districts are the of Wliakatane,, so treat them right and fhcy will be back next time. But %?r goodness sake keep to the published timetable, for country people have a l©ng way to gof home, and (as regards afternoon events) a lot to do when they g»t home. I trust that the real carnival promoters will realise that I am still a WELL WISHER,
