“THESE TWO PESTS”
GOLFERS AND RABBITS ON SCHOOL GROUNDS
(PKXSH ASSOCIATION TNLIORAM.I WELLINGTON, October 7. “Rabbits are causing a lot of trouble, and practising golfers are also proving a ‘nuisance’ ” is the text of a complaint by Mr J. N. Millard, principal of the Hutt Valley High School, in a report to the Board of Governors. Mr Millard said that work on the school grounds suffered from these two pests, and they found them hard to get rid of. The rabbits had been giving trouble for years. They had made a burrow before the holidays several feet long near one of the wickets. As fhr the golfers, the report said, it was almost incomprehensible, but nevertheless true, that some people had so little respect for other people’s prooerty that they chose a private cricket ground on which to practise the art of divot carving.
