LEAFLETS ON WINDSCREENS DAMAGE TO THE WIPERS The practice of wedging advertising leaflets under the windscreen wipers of motor-cars left parked in the streets was described as "irritating and impertinent" in a letter received at a meeting of the council of the Canterbury Automobile Association last week. The writer stated that damage to the wiper was caused by forcing the arm ofE the glass of the windscreen. The secretary, Mr. J. S. Hawkes, reported that he had mentioned the letter to the chief traffic inspector and to the town clerk, and he understood that the inspectors had received instructions to attend to the matter. Mr. F. W. Freeman said that he often had to leave his car in the street and he could recognise it from a distance. Sometimes, until he was near to the car, the leaflets looked like an inspector's ticket. It was something of a shock.
