THE CENTENNIAL
CELEBRATION PREPARATIONS [Per United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, October 18. ' Although the making of arrangements for the New Zealand centennial celebrations in 1940 has been receiving the attention of the authorities for some time past, there is still a good deal of organisation required, and the Government intends to push ahead with this without delay. The Prime Minister (Mr Savage) said in an interview this evening that no effort would be spared by the Government to see that the celebrations were worthy of the occasion. “ The organisation of the centennial celebrations is no small task,” said Mr Savage. “ The Minister of Internal Alfairs (Mr Parry) has been handling the organisation of the celebrations on behalf of the Government, and although good progress has been made there is still a lot to do. We hope to have at the celebrations many distinguished visitors from overseas. The Government wants the celebrations to be worthy of the first 100 years of the country's development.”
