LITTER IN PUBLIC
Sir,-Years ago, in an English paper, I saw reference to a Society called "The Pug Pups," the members of which pledged themselves to "Pick up Glass" and "Pick up Paper’ wherever they found it out of place. How often I have wished that such a society functioned in New Zealand! As a family, we have always been very addicted to Picnics, and from the first it has been an invariable rule that a picnic spot must be left exactly as it was found. Nothing is easier than to take home egg-shells, paper bags, etc., in the baskets in which they were brought, or if that is not feasible, to bury them; but people often don’t seem to realise that, and I think a little publicity on the subject might point out to them ways in which they are unconscious of offending probably, but which, in the aggregate, mar beauty spots so
often:
