COMPLETE RUINATION
VANDALISM AT CHRISTCHURCH. Per Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, June 13. A report to the police states that during tho week-end shelters built by relief workers at Cashmere Hills were visited and their contents completely ruined. Five hundred cups were smashed, thirty billies were battered shapeless with picks, and 201bs of tea and 401bs of sugar were mixed with water and scattered over the ground. The shelters serve fourteen gangs.
Tho men keenly resent this contemptible act, as the shelters afforded protection in wet weather. On occasions the men had left fresh ivater in the billies, with wood handy in case passing hikers felt inclined to boil water for tea.
