ANZAC AVENUE.
ITo the Editor}. Sir,—l would like to know why our Council decided to abolish our only honour paid to the dead in the Great War by changing the name of Anzac Avenue;. When it was only a cattle track through the swamp it was good enough -to have a name so sacred, Now the Railway Department is making it o-ne of the best roads in the borough it seems that it must have a better name. I am not satisfied that this change is justified, when Paeroa has plenty of streets yet to be formed, and named ; but. it s eems that any old cattle track that no one uses is good enough to have the name that thev teach,the children at school to honour. Hoping some abler pen. will take this up and see that “Honour is paid were Honour .is due.” A SOLDIER’S SISTER.
