The story comes from another centre regarding a member of the unemployed who, when given a garden-digging job by a charitably-disposed business man, said he “ had never, dug up so many onions in his life” —he had unearthed the business man’s best bulbs! But surely (says the Wanganui Herald) this is quite equalled by a lo'-al happening, when a similarly charitably-disposed person gave a reputed “practical” man the job of pruning the fruit trees, only subsequently to discover that all hope of having any apples this year is well gone!
