BORED IN N.Z.

(N Z.P..\.-Reuter—Coprright) JOHANNESBURG, Mar. Jenny Thorne, the attractive 28-year-old wife of the former All Black, Graham Thorne, said here that she found life in New Zealand very boring and hoped her husband would find a job in South Africa. Jenny, with her three-year-old son Bruce, is staying with her parents at their home in Johannesburg’s fashionable suburb of Illovo. “I just cannot imagine spending my whole life in New Zealand,” Jenny said, according to the Johannes- 1 burg “Sunday Times.” “It is about 10 years ‘behind South Africa and I i find it very boring. It is a country for old people and I young children certainly inot for young people who wish to get ahead.” Jenny who married Thorne ,in Johannesburg in November 1970, said that talk of her marriage breaking up was nonsense. “I think our marriage is fine and I am happy enough,” she is quoted as saying “I would like to have another baby but certainly not in New Zealand. “I think Graham would like to return to South Africa in many vvays but it is a question of finding the right kind of job. But he changes his mind every five minutes.” She said the main reason I she had come back to South I Africa was that both her; father and grandfather were! ill and she wanted to seel them as well as other relat-i ives.
