R.D. DELIVERY
Sir, —I am afraid some of us do not altogether agree with your subleader of 7/1/42 dealing with our reduced rural delivery service. It is not so much the farmers who need your sympathy as the farm -hands and other workers in outlying places. These workers have had their benzine completely cut off while the farmers are getting a special allowance to enable them to make a—no, not monthly—a weekly trip to Whakatane, which in some cases to more than they got previously on. their coupons. So .we are not so sure that the consideration of the effects of the new benzine regulations has not been hurried or passed over. And why should other rural delivery areas be less deserving than ours, and if not, does the multiplication of injustice result in justice? The idea, that the official point of view is necessarily connected with the "National"" was rather exploded for these of us who are members of the Home Guard towards the end of 1941 when the licenses which enabled us to buy benzine to attend our drills were cancelled. So far however the officials have not called in our home guard arm bands. . Yours etc., R.D. SUBSCRIBER.
