EVERY NIGHT AT NINE
Sir,-After reading "Matelot’s" letter, I am filled with disgust and wonderwonder at any man writing such drivel about his wife wanting to shoot an announcer for having the impudence to interrupt "On Wings of Song" for such a trivial thing as one moment of prayer out of 24 hours, for men‘ giving their lives in this war. Surely there can’t be many apathetic women like this in New Zealand, or in the world for that matter, No, I am not a flag-waving hypocrite, I am just a soldier’s wife with a constant prayer in her heart. The boys in camp will tell you that wherever they are, when \Big Ben chimes at nine o’clock every night, there is a silence observed by one and all no matter what his
rank.-
JUST A SOLDIER'S WIFE
(Masterton).
