Coming On!

| To the Editor"] Sir,—l aint wat thay call eddicated, but I rekkon th it Pukekohe foak are coming on. Wen I red yore storey about the cattle bein licened I sed to mesself " blow me if thay aint goiu tew make my old cow pay for the lektrick light after all." There's a lot of taulk about butter tacks, but I sed to my nabor it aint butter tacks its cow tacks. Sum doant sea it but I sea that in the fewcher the more cows yeu have on the roads the cheeptr yore light will be. I think Mister Edditer that our Mayor knows wat he's up to. I say let every cow in the Burra have a ten shillen coller on ; then one undred will meen fifty notes. That will help to make a mud road into a konkrete wun and we sharnt no ourselves soon. I here tew as they are to ave a rainger. All I kan say is giv him good wages and a shillen for every gig as goes on the countrie roads after dark without a light. T'other night 1 kounted forteeu Thay say the bobbies have tew much tew do looken after these chaps as aint got there ticket on em for soldieren. Praps that's rite enuf but I say the roads aint saife for our yung foak wen thay go out of a nite. I ope I aint sayen tew mutch to orfend the bobbies but if thay carnt look after the gigs without a lit then I say tell the Wummen Pleece cos my naber seys they are goin in for that job befor the war is over. Excuse my riten, but yew know praps wat I meen. Yours, etc., TIDY TIM.
