TAXI DRIVER’S KIND ACT
Overgrown Grave Tidied
"The Press" Special Service AUCKLAND, May 15
The age of kindness is not dead. An Auckland woman and her father, aged 88, engaged a taxi to take them to a cemetery. They planned to tidy an overgrown grave and took their lunch. They told the taxi driver they would engage another taxi to take them back to the city. This man. a taxi owner, had with him a man being trained as a driver. When the party found the grave the taxi owner set the woman and her father down at a convenient spot nearbv and told them to have their lunch. He and his mate took off their coats and cleared the grave. The woman and her father were back home a little more than an hour after their departure.
