Keeping To Schedule
The Minister of Finance (Mr Lake) arrived supposedly breathless, but not inarticulate, to address the annual meeting of the Canterbury branch of the New Zealand Society of Accountants in Christchurch yesterday afternoon. His aircraft had been delayed. Soon after 12.30 p.m., when the meeting began, the chairman of the society (Mr K. R. Jones) said: “We learned this morning that both Paraparaumu and Wellington airports were closed, but the latest advice is that Mr Lake is due to arrive at Harewood at five past one. With the help of the Transport Department, we hope he will arrive here by about half past one.” Mr Lake arrived in the meeting room at 1.25 p.m., and was given “a minute so that he can get his breath before he speaks.” Mr Lake then told the meeting: “A traffic cop was on our tail coming from Harewood, otherwise we would have been here five minutes earlier.”
