PLENTY OF FOOD
(By "The Post's" Special Reporter.) NAPIER, sth February. There is plenty of• food but petrol i«< short. The foocl depots have done excellent work, and have made it possible for everyone -to be well nourished, j though the absence of cooking facilities renders the food somewhat monotonous in character.

Most of the homes used gas or electricity for culinary purposes, and theso stoves are out of commission, while it is obviously unsafe to light fires in damaged chimneys, where tho chimney is not mere debris. Oil stoves of various kinds arc in great request, because in most homes the "range" has been out of use for years, and the winter stock of wood has not yet been laid in. Wood is by no means scarce in the really devastate^ area, but people i cannot live there, and in the less damaged homes there is no looso timber*
