OTHER PEOPLE’S IDEAS
THE QUEEN CARNIVAL (To the Editor.) Sir,—-In answer to “Disgusted with Disgusted,” yes, I have helped with quite a few shop days and helped with raffles, etc., too, and in doing these things I have had my eyes opened. When he talks of gambling a few shillings, well it is too silly. He knows just as well as I that it is pounds and pounds that are being spent to get this money for our brave men overseas. If we have the money to give, why not do the thing properly and give it direct? I have, I think, done as much as most in helping to raise funds, but am sure this Queen Carnival way is quite wrong. As for my comfortable bed, I had hoped to have one this winter, but instead have given the price of it to a soldier’s wife, who is in need of help. I don’t think the letter calls for any more waste of your paper. Mr Editor, or my time. —Yours, etc., DISGUSTED. Masterton, March 15.
