OTHER PEOPLE’S IDEAS
OUR WAR EFFORT? (To the Editor) Sir, —As a war effort, delivery of milk was zoned to save petrol. Then our bread deliveries were cut out to save petrol and tires, as a war effort. Now our meat deliveries are to be restricted for the same cause. Yesterday, while elderly folk were walking to town for their bread, the beer lorry came down the street. Today my neighbour had his beer delivered by the same big lorry. Now, that beer had to be taken to Carterton and brought back to Masterton to be delivered round the town, using petrol and tires saved by non-delivery of bread. Truly a great war effort in favour of the brewer! Do the “powers that be” ever take into consideration the real need of the various commodities, undelivered and delivered? —I am, pin CURIOUS. Masterton, April 10.
