EDITOR AND REPORTER SUBJECT OF MALICIOUS, BUT TRUE, GOSSIP
"Orrrite I admit it. It's a fair cop and all that." said Bulletin Editor Robert Milne last week. He admitted to the most heinous crime an editor could commit: He sent a reporter on a goose chase into the wilds of Raetihi. On the morning of Tuesday July 5, at approximately 10.32 (and a half) am, he said to reporter "go forth and do a story on yonder Raetihi School pupils raising funds by cooking and flogging off fodder to their fellows". This he knowingly did while forgetting that it be the annual mid term break for the said pupils. Malicious gossipers have also been quick to point out that the editor is married to a primary school teacher, who was at that very moment, at home looking after two nephews (on holiday from school). What about reporter Julie Nation - she's the one who actually drove to Raetihi! (This report is published as a result of the ac.tions of a Iollsx hlackmailer . Fd. )
