DANGER OF LOOSE GLASS
The danger to children of loose glass on beaches and in sandhills was emphasized by the chairman (Mr S. Rice) at a meeting of the Southland Education Board yesterday. A word of warning might be or advantage to children and he hoped that the public would take it in the way it was intended, said Mr Rice. In European countries this offence was punishable by heavy fines. He thought that persons picnicking on beaches should take a little more care because children running about in bare feet might receive serious cuts. If receptacles were placed on the beaches and provision made for a penalty something might be achieved. More discrimination should be shown by the public in the disposal of rubbish.
