Trampers and Tramping
Sir, —I hope my sense of humour will never fail to make me see a really good joke, and since yesterday I have been trying to see “through” a trespass warning notice board, which may or may not be regarded as amusing. I espied it over the week-end on a ramble over country just on the outskirts of the city, and it was worded thus: “Notice to trampers, campers, and other idle persons.” Docs the property-owner concerned infer that they, the whole army of lovers of the wide, open spaces, are a pack of idlers? As a tramper I know it is not so, for real trampers have better things to_do. and a man -whose objective is say 15 tv 20 miles off has no time during the course of a week-end to idle. Also, not all trampers, who lay a worthy claim to the name, are to be regarded as irresponsible, who purposely go abroad to create a new record in leaving gates open, breaking down fences, and causing fire to spread.—l am. OLD KIT BAG. Wellington, November 21.
