Is Home Life And Home Comfort Lacking On Taranaki Farms?
gUMMER and long warm evenings. Winter, drawn curtains, and fireside. This is the kind of picture that shapes itself easily enough in the irnagination. But what of reality? Is the room into which slanting sunbeams pour an airy livable one? Is the furniture such that people will want to linger? Are, the curtains that are drawn against bitter winds in keeping with the cosy atmosphere of the leaping flames? It is a sad fact that not all the farm houses of Taranaki have been made into homes. It is also regrettable that the urge' for other forms of entertainment, so noticeable in the rising generation, can often be traced to the absence of a homely atmosphere and a degree of comfort in keeping with the enforced isolation of rural life.
