TRANSPORTATION THE LIFEBLOOD OF THE NATION \ private or commercial, is not a luxury. It has always been a vital necessity, not only for keeping the avenues of industry open, but in maintaining the health of the community. Think of the uses for transportation on which your daily life depends: the baker, the butcher, the grocer, the plumber, the builder, the the fire engine; ready and able to render instant service, only because of the motor vehicle. The farming community can maintain and increase production only through motor transportation: cream to the factory, top-dressing fop pastures, stock to the freezing works, wool to the mills and ships. Then timber must be brought to the mill, building materials to house and factory. Letters, parcels, goods, taxis, buses—everyday items which are taken for granted because of their unvarying and unfailing service—all these depend on motor transport. The private owner who takes his family for health-giving outings at week-ends, and forgets the worries of office and factory to enjoy the pleasures of beach and bush, can do so simply because of the means of transport —the motor vehicle. To the defence of New Zealand, motor transport is a vital necessity. No phase of public, professional, business or farm life is complete, nor could it function efficiently, without motor transport. So, remember, for the benefit of everybody in this country, motoring must continue. Our national and individual life depends on it. If you have been thinking of buying a new or used car, go ahead and buy it. If you already have a car, go ahead and use it to the fullest practical extent —without wasting,petrol. In this way you xvill be helping to keep 25,000 men at work, thereby affecting 100,000 people, and rendering one of the finest forms of Some Service, electrician—and in time of emergency—the doctor, the ambulance, Let’s get on with the Job!
