VISITOR FINDS N.Z. SAUSAGES TOO BIG

New Zealand sausages were “so indigestible and heavy,” said the world president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce International. Mr Erie S’evenso-n of Edin-

burgh, Scotland, on reaching Christchurch by air from Dunedin yesterday morning He had had three big sausages and two eggs put on his plate for breakfast in a Dunedin hotel that morning, .he said. His complaint, he 'said, was in “the way they're made. They’re too solid. 1 prefer British sausages.” Mr Stevenson, who is on a

world Jaycee tour embracing 23 countries, is a director of his father’s cereal food manufacturing business. One of the sausages he had eaten at his Dunedin breakfast had filled him, said Mr Stevenson. This was bad for 'he sausage trade. On Jaycee activities. Mr Stevenson said the world junior chamber was “progressing very well ” This year was one of consolidation rather than expansion World membership was 320.000 in just under 7000 communities, in 75 countries New Zealand was the fifth largest in the Jaycee organisation It had the biggest membership in proportion to the population. Mr Stevenson said he felt that in Jaycee work, in New Zealand there had been a slightly Iqrge accent on charitable and social work in the community. There had been too little organisational work and long-term develop, ment of the communities, both of which provided members with much better training and education

“I look for high standards m this country in the junior chamber movement,” he said “It has a high degree of ability and tremendous ennthusiasm.”

Mr Stevenson gave a luncheon address to Christchurch Jaycees before leaving by air for Wellington. He will return to Scotland via Australia, the Philippines. Formosa, Japan. Korea and t>he United States.
