Who Laughs Last An amusing story of a borough councillor buying potatoes from a relief worker is being recounted at Port Chalmers. The potatoes had been grown on an unoccupied corporation section temporarily set aside as vegetable gardens for the unemployed. The potatoes were sold as they stood of my old regiment reported for serfour sacks. After the deal was completed and the, money passed over, a day or two elapsed before the potatoes were dug by the new owner. The result was disappointing, for instead of four sacks there were barely four sugar bags of potatoes, and small ones a t that. The patch had very evidently been “bandicooted” by a marauder and the laugh seemed to be on the side of the seller. But the laugh may have been too hurriedly apportioned, for the Unemployment Committee is inquiring as to who gave permission for the sale of potatoes which had been cultivated in relief work hours.
