TOO MANY PERSONS SO INCLINED
NEW I'LY.MGUTH, August 6. "You have made what can only be deseribed as a wholesale raid on Governnient property," said .Mr. W. II. Woodfvard, S.M., when imjiosing sentenee on two men for thefts i'rom the radar station cainp at Oakura. Ronald Vfilliam Paul, New Plymouth, ! carpenter, was sentenced to two months iiujiiisoninent and Ronald Edward Haskell, Oakura, farmer, to one month. Tlie meu's acts, conunented Mr. Woodward, were symptomatic of the attitude of mind of too many persons in the community whose not too sturdy honesty was being undermined by the sight of vast quantities of Government projierty lying about unguarded, uncared for and apparently unwanted. That attitude was perhaps understandable but the thefts it gave rise to were inexcusable.
