Beech trees
Sir, —Mr Blanchfleld should stick to his poetry. Does he realise how many ex-Coast-ers are working on the wharf at Lyttelton. Men who moved their homes and families away from the Coast to give their kids a chance, men who had their living taken from them when the mines shut down, men who left behind a whole way of life begun generations ago, and who now realise how the wealth was sucked from the Coast by outside monopolies and who don’t want to see it happen again. Farm the beech by all means but don't strip it and leave the country naked and dead as they did with the gold and coal. —Yours, etc., FOURTH GENERATION COASTER. January 18, 1972.
