NEW YEAR NUISANCES
Sid:— A thin _barrier of circumstance divides the honest citizen from the criminal. For instance, today lam a free man only because of the meagre fact that I do not possess a shotgun, and therefore could not lay hands on one early in the morning of January 1. Had I been able to do so, I should have become a felon by shooting a man—a. crazed object who capered and roared his buffooneries at the head of‘ a pack of fools who invaded my garden. ‘ New Year celebrations have my support. I am a. first-footer, an omenmanger, a. bibber, and a fun-lover. But I become sane at midnight, and at no time do I take tom—noddy tac—tfbs into other people’s yards. My experience the other evening was that of others. It is time the police made an example of youths who make liberty and festival an excuse for licence and public annoyance. ‘ SLEEPLESS NIGHT.
