In brief

Name omitted The name of Nikki Allan, aged eight, was omitted from the caption under a photograph of Brownie flagbearers in a service commemorating 125 years of the Red Cross, printed in “The Press” yesterday. Members Of the group were (from left), Shannon Heese, Nikki Allan, Ms Joanne Thomas, Erin Heese, and Anna Ogston. Shop name corrected An open till and its contents was snatched from Peryer Educational Books, Ltd, Manchester Street, last week and not Hunters and Collectors leather shop as reported. The incorrect information was released by the police. About $2OO was taken in the opportunist theft. Breakfast TV Breakfast television will be on air tomorrow with a 10-minute video magazine show for Telecom South staff. The first of the two-monthly programmes will be screened on Television One, at 7 a.m., with items involving staff from round the South Island. Equipment repossessed The police are no longer treating the loss of $50,000 of equipment from an inner-city horse-drawn carriage business as theft. A police spokesman said the harness and two carriages allegedly stolen from Revival Rides, Ltd, last month had been repossessed. The carriage attraction was put out of business for several days until special harness was made available to the company through pleas in the news media. Woman praised The police have praised a woman who flagged down a passing car while she was being threatened by a semi-naked man on Papanui Road last week-end. The man exposed himself and followed the woman making indecent suggestions. He is described as European, about 183 cm tall, of slim build, in his 30s. He was wearing white pants and a balaclava with eye slits.
