SOUTH ISLAND NOT VISITED
ILN.E.S.C.O. Seminar Delegates (New Zeaiana frees Association/ WELLINGTON, Feb. 25. Most of the delegates who represented 28 countries at the U.N.E.S.C.O. regional seminar on school publications just concluded in Wellington will leave New Zealand tomorrow or on Saturday without having seen the South Island. Nearly all delegates entered New Zealand by air through Auckland. The three-week working conference began on February 1 and ended last Friday. Since then delegates have chosen either to go straight back to their countries or to take part in a tour of the North Island, which is scheduled to end at Auckland tonight to enable them to catch their planes tomorrow. The North Island tour was decided upon long before the delegates arrived in New Zealand. Advice of this tour was included in an itinerary of the seminar Prepared some months ago and sent to all intending visitors. No South Island scenic trip was offered. Members of the New Zealand secretariat of U.N.E.S.C.O. are with the delegates on tour, but it is understood that visits to the South Island by delegates were confined to trips undertaken by “one or two” for private reasons. “AH wish to know, but none want to pay the price.”—-Juvenal.
