DUCK-ITIS REACHES EPIDEMIC PROPORTIONS
A serious strain of duck-itis is currently sweeping the Waimarino, and residents are advised to be aware of the symptoms. Two councillors were struck down (according to one of their colleagues) by the illness, that seems to make an appearance around this time every year. Sufferers rise at the crack of dawn; don boots and shoulder gun, and disappear for hours. In extreme cases the sufferer lapses into a dialect that sounds, at times, not unlike the call of some great bird. Duck-itis is not believed to be fatal. Most people afflicted with it, by all apnp.aranr.es make a full recoverv bv mid-June.
