RABBITS AND GOLFERS
COMPLAINT BY HEADMASTER WORK ON GROUNDS SUFFERS ["BY TELF.GKAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION'] WELLINGTON, Wednesday
"Rabbits are causing a lot of trouble, and practising golfers are also proving a nuisance." Such is the text of a Complaint made by Mr. J. N. Millard, principal of the Hutt Valley High School, in a report to the Board of Governors.
Mr. Millard stated that work on the school grounds suffered from these two "pests," which were difficult to get rid of. Rabbits had been giving trouble for years. They had made a burrow before the holidays several feet long near one of the wickets.
As for golfers, the report said it was almost incomprehensible, but nevertheless true that some people had so little respect for other people's property that they chose a private cricket ground on which to practise the art of "divot carving."
