A MISGUIDED YOUTH. GLASS AND NAILS ON. ROAD. j (sPßcnr- to "ran pbsss.") 1 AUCKLAND, June 11. A certain boy residing at Rangiriri earned the severe censure of tho Council of the Auckland Automobile Association, A resident of the district, in a spirit of solicitude for all motorists, wrote at some length to doscribo a young man's pastime of secretly depositing sharp and jagged objects on tho main road in wait for passing motor-cars. "A neighbour of mine," he wrote, "while on his way to Papakura, on passing a point north of the To Kauwhata junction with tho main road, observed a boy (whom tho writer named) retreating very hurriedly from the road to tho gateway of his parents' homo after depositing what appeared to bo a harmless piece of paper on tho wheel track of tho road. To my neighbour's amazement, it. proved to be a small pieco of wood, part of a fruit case, with no fewer than seven nails driven into it, the points set upwards and ifche whole device concealed with paper. Tho result was a scries of punctures. "This," tho writer continued, "was precisely the point, where Dr. S. Martin, of Ngaruawahia, recently had a bad spill. I'am also given to understand that tho same boy encourages other boys attending tho Rangiriri School to place broken bottles on tho road, from whore broken glass has on more than one occasion been removed lately. I believe a strongly-wordqd note from your Association to the lad's father, and also one' to tho schoolmistress, would have a beneficial effect." The writer suggested adding that there were six witnesses of the incidents referred to. "The irony of the thing," he concluded, "is tho fact that this boy has boasted of having collected no fewer than £ls from sales of grapes to passing motorists. Possibly he may bo contemplating starting a Vulcanising shop during the off season of grapes." (Laughter.) Members agreed that the case was one in which immediate action might prove salutary, and it was decided to forward the writer's information to the schoolmistress. i
