PICKED UP!
UNEXPECTED reactions to our leading article setting out Whakatane's claims to a new post office, and quoting Te Aroha's as a precedent, have apparently stirred up the mud in the mineral waters of the 'township of love.. Our efforts to battle for Whakatane's long averdue postal headquarters have been taken up as a personal affront to the town in question and the invective which is hurled back as counter-blast refers to Whakatane as a 'Sleepy Hollow,,' with Rip Van Winkle propensities for neglecting even such things as rubbish collections and sewerage systems. When this town has made some, effort to live up to other more civilised communities, says the 'NEWS' then it may ha,ve a rightful claim to improved postal amenities along with other more progressive centres!
