A WOMAN TELLS

“WE ARE WATCING THEM'" SAYS MRS DREAVER. Mrs Dreaver, in her confiding way, has given civil servants something to think about, and attempts to smooth ovei - her indiscretion have not been convincing. With this on top of their other grievances, civil servants will lose any remaining confidence in the Fraser Government. Though the influential union bosses have seen to it that their personal followers receive favoured treatment (such as bonuses in defiance of stabilisation restrictions) civil servants continue in their role of being New Zealand’s “forgotten men.” Taxed twice for one benefit . . . robbed of chances of advancement by the appointment of outsiders to the best-paid jobs . . . handicapped economically by lower salary scales compared with rates outside the service . . . often living in deplorable conditions, particularly in Wellington, through inability to get houses . . . their progress retarded owing to postponement of re-grading . . .

and now this “Dreaver bombshell” threatening them with a political Gestapo! Is it surprising that there are murmurs in the service. For a fair deal, vote National!—Advt.
