INTERRUPTED OPERA
Sir,-I would like to express my disgust and shame that any New Zealander should express such sentiments as did "Miserere" in your last issue, Perhaps to "Miserere" the chiming of Big Ben and a minute of Silent Prayer is a "mere mechanical routine," but to thousands of others who have someone in the forces, or do really think sometimes of those»who are giving the best years of their lives so that people like "Miserere" can listen to their opera in peace, Big Ben and all it implies means something which "Miserere" apparently can’t understand, If "Miserere" took two minutes at nine o’clock each night, or any other time, to think of someone except himself, he might realise what others are
sacrificing for him and be thankful.-
