NATIONAL PARK
The secretary of the Wauganui Automobile Association (Mr. I<\ J. Hill) reported to his executive that many motorists had been confused as to where .National Park really is. .', Many called at the association office after '.coming right, through the Park, to . ask where it was, he stated. In view .of .that the, question has been vaised -as'to whether the name ''National Park" was suitable. People naturally, looked for a park of some sorty and were disappointed when they did not see plenty of bush. Somo thought 1 that the Park lay on the other side of !the mountain. Wanganui had sought opinions of the tother -associations on the advisability of urging a more appropriate name, Mr. Hill went on.; Auckland favoured Natioual Park, as the name was most suitable for their members oIE the'; train.' Taranaki considered that' the matter was out of their, sphere of influence. The Wellington Association had yet to . express an opinion. Dr.- Porritt considered that the name should not have been changed in the first place, and, in view of tho lack of backing from other associations it would be wise to let tho matter drop. This course was agreed to.
