Broken Bottles
Sir, —On Saturday I attended the motor race meeting at Pukekohe and 1 thoroughly enjoyed the day. This morning I read with disgust that some imbeciles threw empty beer bottles on the track and then tried to break them with stones. Luckily some official saw this and removed the bottles. This action could have ended in a tragedy. Fancy getting a cut tyre while travelling at anything between 100 and 140 miles an hour! What is wrong with today’s youth? Have they no sense of decency and responsibility? If I had my way I would never allow beer to be sold in bottles. If beer is still going to be sold in bottles, I would suggest that the Government make it law that Is be charged on each bottle. Every bottle would be returned. I hope something will come of this because this type of offence is all too prevalent.—Yours, etc, HENRIK H. MOLLER. New Plymouth, April 10, 1967.
