DANGER OF SHARKS
“Matter For Individual” (N.Z. Press Association) | NEW PLYMOUTH, Jan. 17. “We can’t say the danger: from sharks has been exagger-i ated as long as we have these sightings.” said Mr J. E. Hatchwell, president of the Taranaki Surf Life-saving Association. today. He was commenting on a Press Association report from Auckland which suggested the shark menace was exaggerated. During the week-end sharks were sighted at Ohawe, Urenui and Wai-iti beaches. At Ahu Ahu beach, two miles from the scene of the fatal shark attack on January 8, a five-foot shark was shot
“The responsibility is purely and simply over to the individual, whether he or she decides to swim in the sea,” said Mr Hatchwell. “We can’t tell them what to do.”
