The gentleman’ with this information arrived in New Zealand last Friday from U.S.A. He is Mf. Hugo Wollerman, born and schooled in Palmerston North, but an mentee for the last 35 year?. And now, he has returner! to the town of his birth to find it quite a modern city—those are his own words —whereas he left it a village with a few scraggy pine and fir trees in the Square where beautiful gardens are now admired. He has come back to stay and lose a little of the American accent picked up unconsciously during the three decades and a half that he has been mixing with Americans.
