Community Work For Offenders
GVeie Zealand Preet Association)
WANGANUI, May 27.
A scheme to put young vandals and other offenders to work on community projects as a provision of their term of probation is under investigation by Mr B. S. Barry, S.M.
He revealed this today in dealing with two teenaged schoolboys appearing in the Children’s Court on a charge of wilfully damaging the turf in Kowhai Park on March 24. “I want to enlist the aid of the city’s community organisations, the probation officer and the child welfare officer, so that it can be made a term of probation or child welfare supervision that offenders can put in community work for the benefit of the city,” he said.
Telling the boys that they should know what publicspirited people had done for the community in local parks and reserves, Mr Barry said the Court took a very serious view of any damage being done to public property.
Mr G. Glassey, for 19 years seed-dressing officer and seed certification assistant with the Department of Agriculture at Ashburton, retires today.
