GUIDES ARE BLOWING LIKE THEIR GEYSERS
(New Zealand Press Association)
ROTORUA, Aug. 31. Whakarewarewa guides are steaming about people who leave bottles and rubbish in the model pa. Guide Ellen today said the pa was “falling to pieces” and that larrikins were defacing carvings. She and other guides were continually finding empty and often broken beer bottles scattered around the pa, she said. "I think some people are holding drinking parties at night in the pa,” she ■aid. It was embarrassing to find a pile of broken beer
hotties when showing overseas visitors through a pa, she said. Toilet paper had been found draped around one of the carvings. Guide Ellen said she had caught some young boys trying to remove the eyes of a carving. “I was blowing like Pohutu geyser when I told them to leave the carving rJone,” she said. Carvings were now being defaced more than ever before. “1 wouldn’t be surprised to learn that people sleep in the pa,” she said.
