TV Golf Television viewers in I Christchurch will see some- | thing of Saturday’s play in the New Zealand Open golf championship at Shirley on Monday evening. The Christchurch club agreed yesterday for a television news presentation of the golf on Monday evening, the film being made without charge. Vice-Leader “Towards the end of the mission my name was changed from deputy-leader to viceleader,” said the deputyleader of the New Zealand Trade Mission that has recently returned from Southeast Asia (Mr R. H. Stewart) yesterday. “I gather it is the same thing.” he said. Mr Stewart was speaking at a reception held by the Department of Industries and Commerce in Christchurch to welcome home the Christchurch members of the mission. Mild Temperatures A moderate to fresh easterly and some high cloud prevented temperatures rising very high yesterday. At Christchurch airport there was a temperature of 57 degrees at 9 a.m. and it rose to a maximum of 63 degrees at 4 p.m. There was a temperature of 64 degrees at the Botanic Gardens at 3 p.m. and the Government Life building showed a temperature of 63 degrees at 4 p.m. Rewi Alley’s Gifts The Canterbury Museum Trust Board tried yesterday to estimate the value of gifts from China made to the museum almost annually since 1935 by Mr Rewi Alley. They could only guess that the total value would be thousands of pounds. On display were the latest gifts—four big replicas of 2000-year-old tomb figures of three horses and a drummer. Export Prediction New Zealand was not in the immediate years ahead going to sell many manufactured goods abroad, said the Secretary of Industries and Commerce (Dr. W. B. Sutch) in Christchurch yesterday. He was speaking at a reception held by the Department of Industries and Commerce to welcome home the Christchurch members of the South-east Asia Trade Mission. But, he said, the trade mission had showed that New Zealand could under-cut any other country in quality and price in the field of mobile cranes; it could produce cheaper and better jet-boats than anywhere else in the world, and to his surprise the trade mission had showed that New Zealand could make shoes of quality and price that would sell in South-east Asia.
