IN **** metr * c Why Change to Metric? Why should New Zealand bother changing to the metric system from the imperial weights and measures inherited from Britain? The reasons are simple — New Zealand has no option if it is to avoid standing alone in a metric world and suffering the consequences of such isolation. Furthermore the metric system is a better one and that is why the whole world is adopting it. Its simplicity and common sense have already won over more than 131 countries, containing more than 90 per cent of the world’s population. New Zealand, like Britain, Australia. Canada and South Africa, is in the process of converting to metric measures, guided by the Mitric Advisory Board. The United States, the only major country not yet committed to switching to the metric system or not already metric, has before its Congress legislation, already passed by the Senate and awaiting a vote of the House of Representatives, which will, if passed, take U.S.A, into the metric world. Trade If New Zealand, being vitally dependent metric world, and brings uniformity to on trade, were to fail to follow the global all measurements. swing to metric measurement it would metric system ts a great time saver be at a disadvantage in trading with an( j fh Me savings to people in industry, other countries.

Signs of the changeover are already Now. if those nations which have com- apparent in the everyday life of New mitted themselves to change are Zealanders. Wool is sold in kilograms, counted as metric, 88 per cent of New temperatures are in Celsius, signs on Zealand’s imports are from the metric many roads are showing distances in countries and 84 per cent of its exports kilometres while athletes have been are to them. The longer conversion is familiar with metres for some time, delayed, the more trading opportunities By the end of 1976 New Zealanders will will be lost and the greater will be the be well on the way to making the cost.

It is the internationally agreed with metric footballs and drinking beer version of the original metric system, measured by millilitres and litres instead assured of acceptance throughout the of fluid ounces or half-gallons.
