BUTTER APPRECIATED
ATTITUDE OF ENGLISHMEN SUPPLIES WELL MAINTAINED The obvious appreciation of Englishmen for the introduction of rationing in New Zealand so that supplies of foodstuffs can be maintained to Great Britain is described in a letter from Pilot-Officer Allan Roberts, R.N.Z.A.F.. at present stationed in E. N. Roberts, of Christchurch. "I was up in London one Sunday,” writes Pilot Officer Roberts, “and we asked an elderly gentleman what a certain building was. After pointing out various places, he came out with: ‘Thanks for your butter.’ Another item of interest was the fact that we were saluted by the guards at Buckingham Palace—something we never expected.”
