PORTRAIT OF HAWKE'S BAY
Sir "Without vision. the people perish." What a fitting quotation to end this blurb (2YZ, 7.0 pam., July 16), It is about time this absurd two-heated monster which refuses to acknowledge its body, commonly known«as Hawke’s Bay, which, stretches from Mahia to Herbertville, Wairoa to Woodville, Ruahines to the sea, took a good look at itself. Without Hawke’s Bay, Napier would still be nothing but a little fishing village and Hastings a raupo swamp. Meat, wool’ and fruit were mentioned in this programme just as briefly as that, with no mention of "our" fertiliser works, "our" freezing works, "our" butter and cheese factories. Besides Napier, Hastings, Hastings, Napier, Cape Kidnappers received a mention and Mahia, too, in passing. Surely this fair province deserves better treatment.
