Out of His Element
$ "I'm afraid the opening of flower shows is, to use popular language, 'not my cup of tea,' and if ever my colleagues at the front hear if it I'll never be able to live it down," said Air Commodore G. T. Jarman, D.S.O D.F.C, when opening the spring flower show. Commodore Jarman spoke of the very high regard in which New Zealand airmen were held in the R.A.F., and said that any R.A.F. squadron leader would always accept a New Zealander on "face value." In introducing Commodore Jarman, Mr. J. W. Andrews, mayor, said he was delighted to welcome home a very distinguished citizen in whose capable hands was the training for the Air Force of the young Mien of the country.
Mr. N. B. Gibbons also, on behalf of the Horticultural Society, expressed his pleasure at the presence of Air Commodore Jarman.
