A WANTON ACT
DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION FOOD AND UTENSILS DESTROYED. (Per United Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, June 13. A report to the police states that during the week-end the shelters built for relief workers at Cashmere Hills were visited and their contents completely ruined. Five hundred cups were smashed, 30 billies battered shapeless with picks, and 201 b of tea and 401 b of sugar mixed with water and scattered over the ground The shelters serve 14 gangs. The men keenly resent this contemptible act, as the shelters afforded protection in wet weather. On occasions the men had left fresh water in the billies, with wood handy, in case passing hikers felt inclined to boil water for tea.
