LETTERS FROM LISTENERS
(Continued from Page 4) BELL-RINGING Sir, — Until recently, Christchurch business men working overtime in the area surrounding Cathedral Square had no cause to agree with the sentiments so delightfully expressed by your exbellringer correspondent. For more than an hour one night a week the full fury of seven tons of bells in the Cathedral tower was unleashed about their resounding ears. Those brave days are over, alas, for besides the number of bellringers being depleted for military service, the bells themselves are now decorously muffled on practice night. In addition to this peal of ten bells, the Roman Catholic Cathedral has a fine peal, and two Anglican parish churches sweeten the air with melody each Sabbath. Not to be outdone, those churches which possess only one bell set up an interminable wig-wag in all quarters of the city and suburbs which rivals in vigour if not in harmony the efforts of their more fortunate fellows.
