Flies
Sir, —In your issue of Thursday, February 11, you printed an article pointing out the menace of the fly, and warning us that heaped grass clippings are responsible for their breeding. How do we dispose of grass clippings? We earnestly desire to keep Christchurch free of flies, but lawn clippings are inevitable, unless we allow the grass to get knee-high. Even then we would have a problem.—Yours, etc., SADIE HAYMAN. February 12, 1965. [The Chief City Health Inspector (Mr A. P. Millthorpe) replies: “If the correspondent will supply her address, a copy of a brochure prepared on this matter will be forwarded to her.’’]
