BACK HOME.
NEW ZEALANDER RETURNS. STUDY IN AVIATION. Miss Jeanne Norton, who has been absent from New Zealand for the past six years, and who is on her wav to visit her home town, Wellington, arrived ill Auckland yesterday. She will later leave for Australia, where she will do defence work.
In Australia, where she was living for some time, she took up flying and achieved the record of gaining her A license in 20 days. On the way home to London she had the misfortune to break her neck through an accident in the swimming pool on ship, tout after treatment from specialists all over the world she fortunately recovered. This did not deter her from doing two years' ground engineering work in aviation in London. Miss Norton could be described as a "live wire." She has many interests which keep her busy and even on her way back to New Zealand she lectured at many women's clubs in California where she has been for the past two months.
