A BEACH RISK
The case at Te Aro Baths yesterday of a boy receiving a deep gash on the foot through treading dn a broken shell draws attention to similar risks on the Oriental Bay beach. People bathing there frequently bring cockles out of the water and break them open on the seawall for the delectation of the'gulls.' The thought is no doubt a kindly one much favoured by the birds, but the jagged shells that are left lying about on the beach and promenade ■ are capable of inflicting painful, possibly serious, wounds on tender feet.
