"TWO PESTS"
RABBITS AND GOLFERS SCHOOL PRINCIPAL'S COMPLAINT (Per United Press Association) WELLINGTON, Oct. 7. " Rabbits are causing a lot of trouble and practising golfers are also proving a nuisance," is the text of a, complaint by,Mr J. N. Millard, principal of the Hutt Valley High School, in his report to the Board of Governors. Mr Millard said that work on the school grounds suffered from these two pests, and they found them hard 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 that 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.
