VANDALS BEWARE
North Yorkshire is no place for litter vandals. Last year thoughtless people tore up by the roots large quantities of daffodils growing by the roads near Ripon. The hulbs had been planted by Ripon children, and they and everyone in the city had been looking forward to a golden springtime. Then the vandals arrived like wolves on the fold, and the glory was destroyed. Since then not only Ripon, but all the north of Yorkshire, has taken a step toward preventing a repetition of vandalism of this kina, for one of the North Riding County Council's by-laws has been altered so that it makes the uprooting of ferns and flowers an offence for which vandals may bo prosecuted with lines uja to five pounds.
