FAIRFIELD
Sir, —I notice Fairfield is still asleep, and will probably stay that way until some of the residents wake up. You have a good bus service now, but that is not due to the efforts of the locals; we have to thank an outsider for that. I wonder what we pay our rates for—it is not for street lights, footpaths, drainage, water supply, public telephone, because we have none of these It is a wonder we have electric light. There is a cry for building sections. Well, what is wrong with Fairfield, but who would want to live in such a place about 50 years behind the times? The trouble is the Fairfield people have been too quiet and the Taieri County Council has forgotten us, seeing that we seem contented enough the way things are. Green Island and Mosgiel are rapidly going forward, but we are surely going backwards. How about Fairfield people speaking up for ourselves? I am . su i;r we could soon build up a community be proud of if we wanted to.—l am, etc., Coming Generation.
