Accompanied by Mr and Mrs H. Kemp and their daughter, the Prime Minister, after visiting other South Island holiday resorts, visited Lake Monowai, where he saw the hydroelectricity works. At Roxburgh he was met by Mr R. Walls, M.P. More than 50 children, who are spending a month at Roxburgh camp, sang for Mr Fraser and gave physical fitness displays. With the matron (Miss J. M.
