Ewes for South Island
The North Canterbury District Council of Primary Production agreed recently that it was essential to supply shipping space Tor the transport next season of up t0*150,000 ewes, particularly Romneys, for the South Island. Otherwise-, it was stated, the situation avouUl be extremely serious. After a discussion in committee it was stated that the matter would be taken up with the Shipping Controller. Counter Attack ! It aj)pears as if the Council, in endeavouring to liquidate the smell of silt and mud left by the Hood has put into operation the old adage about counter-attack being the best method of defence. In the Strand on Wednesday, a stilling stench of burning refuse polluted I lie air in the neighbourhood of the Union Bank, forcing pedestrians to give the area a wide berth. The. nose of a BEACON representative being similarly assaulted, he determined to follow the aroma to its source, but was forced to retire strategically before being completely overcome. The only conclusion we can draw is thiit the Council is. endeavouring to combat Hood odours by worse ones. We are certainly facing a nasal blitz.
