CORRESPONDENCE.
(To the Editor).
Sir.~ln your last issue I noticed an appeal from a business man in regard to forming a club, and while away the time of an evening. Well, I would suggest that as the present is not the time, nor are the prospects for the future very bright, that he should join up with the Labour Party, and I am sure that his assistance, as well as that of others who have the time to spare, would be welcomed by the Party. Also, seeing that the bulk of the business men are depending on the toiler for the sale of their various goods. What does a man find in a game of cards or a yarn of no material interest to him? Why not join up and help those who are already at work to make the future bright and better for the generations to come, so that our children can have the pleasures denied them at present owing to the stringent economic conditions at present prevailing. I am sure your correspondent would take a greater interest in helping to build up a body which has the future at heart, and its motto the greatest good to the greatest number, than idling the time away uselessly. It only requires one night every two weeks,' but meetings could be held oftener when there is such talent just wasting for the want of use, and how could it be better used than in the interest of all? Thanking you, sir—l am, etc., LABOUR. (To the Editor). Sir.—ln reply to L. Large’s letter in your last issue, my I suggest that the local Friendly Societies confer and try and arrange a debating and social club. I do not suggest that it should be restricted to members of such societies only. I agree that there is an opening for such a club in Foxton, and much good would be accomplished. —I am, etc,, LODGE MEMBER. THE GOSPEL HALL. (To the Editor. Sir.- —In reply to your correspondent re no place of meeting in Foxton. I would point out that a welcome is always extended to those who care to come to the Gospel Hall week night services held in Park Street. —Yours, etc.,
