An Ashburton motorist had an unpleasant shock while on a country road recently. A road roller appeared in front of him, going in the same direction, and he accordingly slowed down to pass it, blowing his horn vigorously. A man who was walking ahead of the roller throwing the big stones out of the way, however, failed to notice the approach .of the car, and as it drew level, calmly tossed a big lump of metal through its windscreen. The fact that hie smashed glass cut his wrists did not tend to sweeten the driver’s, temper, and some hot words were exchanged before the knight of the. road proceeded on his way. ' • 1
