Some Fan Mail!
We have been notified by Peter the Whaler (in extreme confidence of course) that the, mail received this week is of record breaking proportions. Excluding the mail from. Palmerston North, sixty letters were written to the column by children from the district. The correspondence started rolling in on Monday— and it. hasn't stepped yet, but up to ,1 p.m. on Thursday, just on sixty letters had been received. Some fan mail! "It's Not Beer Now!" Charged with his third breach of; a prohibition order since December ;{, a defendant in the Dunedin Magistrate's Court complained, "It's not beer now. There's no satisfying you. You need eight, or ten bottles." The magistrate, Mr H .\Y r . Bundle, pointed out that he was not supposed to drink at all, and he answered, "I'm finished with the beer now. It. das you no good. Tt's only dope." Apparently he had been acting on this line, because the police said lie Avas found in possession of a l'2oz flask of rum and an empty bottle of wine, which he admitted he had drunk'. He was fined £3 but allowed time to pay.
