Corsair Bay
Sir, —This week-end I took advantage of the lovely weather to pay a visit to Corsair Bay with my young family from the country. After a swim my children went to dress in the new dressing sheds. After a while I went to help and was filled with revulsion to find some depraved persons had scrawled on the walls and seats of these sheds the most disgusting obscenities, aptly illustrated. What harm has been done to the minds of my children and others, I hate to think. Surely there is a caretaker or some responsible resident who will take the trouble to remove this filth and save distress to innocent children.—Yours, etc., DISTRESSED YOUNG MOTHER November 14, 1960. [The Town Clerk of Lyttelton (Mr J. Thompson) replies: “The action of vandals in defiling public buildings is very much to be deplored. This matter has been reported to the police and the writings have been painted over.”]
