TUESDAY NIGHT'S FIRE
Sir, —I hope you have had time to recover from the effects of the letter re the telephone exchange (not that you were not quite a bit right) but then I suppose Editors are able to take it. I really was astounded at your write up (large scrub fire). Is thatall the interest there is taken in the beautiful bit of Native bush underlying the sandhills and the , trees planted years ago by public minded citizens. What a chance that was to have tried out the E.P.S. fire fighters it would have been a wonderful re- II hearsal. While on the subject of the pine trees a few pounds spent in a fire . break by the responsible bodies . would have saved all those trees. It was just fortunate that the , wind dropped about three o'clock, otherwise the plantation of young , pines would have been swept by fire. ; Yours etc., NEBU-. ; (Whilst thanking our correspondent for his expression of opinion, we have to state that Ave honestly r had no grounds to suppose that "a 7 beautiful bit of native bush" ex- > isted on the sandhills. However we y are prepared to stand corrected!, Ed.)
