A Highlight An American couple from Arizona had been informed by the Automobile Association there, working through the New Zealand Tourist and Publicity Department, that “there was nothing to do or see in Christchurch,” members of the Canterbury Progress League were told last evening. However, as a result of the league’s efforts, they had regarded Christchurch and Canterbury as “a highlight of their New Zealand tour” —and would recommend the city to their friends. It was decided to “draw the Tourist Department's attention” to these facts. Mild Day A mild, sunny day followed a one degree frost in Christchurch yesterday. A fivedegree frost was recorded at Harewood. The temperature at Harewood at 9 a.m. was 39 degrees and by noon it had risen to 56 degrees. A maximum temperature of 59 degrees was recorded at the airport at 3 p.m. when the temperature at the Botanic Gardens was 58 degrees. At 4.15 p.m. the temperature gauge on the Government Life building registered 59 degrees.
