Tone of Public Bodies Without, as he said, casting any reflection on the public bodies of New Zealand, Dr. G. I. Miller, Mayor of Ashburton, told boys of St. Andrew’s College, Christchurch, at the annual prize-giving ceremony that, if young men of their education and training took their place in civic life, the tone of public bodies throughout the Dominion would improve 100 per cent. Dr. Miller, who spoke on citizenship, emphasised that he intended to cart no reflection on public bodies, but he maintained that, if the senior boys who were leaving w r ent back to their home towns and did the job that was expected of them and for which they had been trained and educated, they would be making a valuable contribution to civic life. ‘‘Bodies in the community should not run to the Government fbr everything,” he added. All were sympathetic with the farmer who lost all his wheat in a hailstorm, but it was another question when he sought compensation from the Government. There was a danger today of individuality being robbed of any true meaning.
