A NOVEL SUGGESTION
Sir, —I notice in the cables that Japan has offered Germany 70 raid* ers to sail the seas. Can any one r n Whakatane tell me where pur air raid, shelters are. I know of the little tunnel nature has provided under the rock but there is onlyroom for me and my dog there. Now Sir, I suggest that the coun- v cil ask the Government to put a tunnel one chain, in length into Hillcrest. The tunnel would act as three purposes. It could be put in on a easy grade, then in time, it could be lengthened till the town had a badly needed travelling way to Hillcrest, the spoil could be used to recuthn land it would provide a shelter and it would save motor' spirit, etc. This is a big thing to ask for seeing the town has not yet been sew-, eraged. And the town in the past has got the name of a slow town. Te Kooti noticed this and being a progressive savage he murdered a man to start the local cemetery. But what's the good of me talking when I am stoney broke and hawking when my caravan is empty, and , the fish refuse to. bite. But your councillors arc awaiting, they have something else to say, and they are almost sure to tell; us. The town will boom some day. Yours etc., O PARK. China Town, Whakatane
