clearing up some points at issue. I wish to thank him for such information. I now desire to let this correspondence close for the present, nnd wait to see what the future has in store. I thank you once again Mr Editor for the opportunity of using your paper. Yours etc., HARRY GARR-

i Sir,—Mr Montague Norman's whiski ers will waggle Avith relief Avhen he J finds out that Mr BradshaAV is not - contemplating the abolition of the private OAvnership of banking, Avhile r Social Credit folloAvers Avill look at , one another Avitli consternation. Some , Avill even accuse him of being a 5 heretic—neA T ertheless, I can confirm - that there is nothing in Social Credit ' theory to suggest anything so di^tic. The banks are to remain un<33ls~- > present oAvnership. In short—all r this brave talk of bandits and bankers is a lot of hooey. Thank you! Mr BradshaAV for your admission. HoAvever, let's be patient—Mr BradshaAV still has his vouchers to support him; a bit bedraggled perhaps, but still usable, especially in Alberta,, so Ave Avill put them under the spotlight and see Avhat they are mode of. But first, ass Mr Bradshaw indignantly enquires, "Avhat's wrong with Alberta anyAvay?" Allow me to . reply, that I think it must be a re- , markable place, for, if our friend is , any authority, it Avould appear, ( that, not only has it tAvo different . r types of currency but it is also split into tAA'o tribes of people. "The Alberta treasury vouchers can buy 7 per cent more goods than. , Canadian bank notes," lioav this is so,. , is not explained by our earnest friend, so Ave are entitled to assume, in the absence of anything more concrete, that Mr Aberhart, being ! something of a prophet as Avell as a uolitician, immersed the A r ouchers. J , as they poured piping hot from the printing press, in a bucket of holy . water, thereafter they shone Avith. an added lustre, (7 per cent of it in lact) —but this is not all. no, far from it —for, as you walk along the main street of Edmonton, on a hot sunny day, you'll be struck by thecurious contrast in the people—on the one hand, can be observed, a slouching, plodding, stiff gaited type with beetling eyebroAvs and stunted Adsion. the immodest, non-intellect-ual ones. Avhen making calculations in simple arithmetic stupidly think that 2 and 2 make 4 —they only use Canadian bank notes'. Ancl on the other hand, can be seen a curious sort of person, Avho treads lightly as though on air—Avith a 1 look of celestial brightness on his fountenanfce, and a.dreamy far away look in his eyes—he (having had his broAv besprinkled with sdme of Mr |?jj Aberhart's holy AA'ater —the residue from the vouchers) only uses vouchers for currency (the ones with the 7 per cent added lustre). No! I'm afraid its all tod funny for me —no AA'onder poor Mr BradshaAV is in such a desperate hurrjr io retire from the correspondence column to the sanctuary of his private letter box—he's even left his vouchers behind. Yours etc., sj H. C. BROWN", Taneatua. J . .j j . Sir —Ts it right for /children to use catapults' As I Avas going up to the Whakatane Hospital during the week, some children fired a pellet «t my car. As it AA'as a closed one (the car) it did not hit me but should it have been open as ~ so many cars are the results Avouldhave been serious. You could probably Avarn the drivers, or better still parents through your paper an*l thereby safeguard against any reawr~~ accidents. Children Avill be children, you knoAv. Yours etc., NARROW ESCAPE. (In response to our correspondent's query we have to admit that it is quite legal for children to own catapults, but it is definitely against " the law to use them against people, • particularly the drivers of cars. We agree that results might easily : be most serious and join Avith th" \ writer in hoping that this letter will be a warning.
