TUTU IN LEVIN GRAVEL PIT.
(To the Editor). Sir,—'Our worthy councillors will quibble- at the name of a street, whether it shall be Wereroa 'Road or An-za-c) 'Street;-*-®. matter which 'neither benefits or otherwise anyone in the community. " Yet they will -allow a most deadly menace to exist in our very midst; I refer to the growth of tutu in the old gravel pit opposite our public school. I think all will agree with me that the most valuable asset to the dominion—and, indeed, the British Empire—is the children, and they are wcrth saving. Just now the fruit of the tutu is ripe, and no doubt is a most .attractive berry, as well as a most deadly poison. As I passed along the street yesterday, under the hedge by tlio school was lying a bunch of these noxious berries; no child. It will be too late to speak* doubt picked and put there by sv when there has been a. poisoning fatality, nnd I trust our s councillors will see fit to have the tutu removed. Let our councillors prove their willingness to "do their Jittle bit" in the interests of the children.—l am, etc., I. GffiiAiC® NATION. Wereroa, May 11, 1917.;'
