“One of the most amazing things in England for me was the comparison between the big open spaces and the tightly packed industrial towns,” said Mr H. C. Holland, of the Woolstqn Tanneries, who spoke oh his trip abroad at a luncheon in Christchurch. “Of course, the big industrial towns such as I was .in were very closely packed and the houses had no gardens, so that in a town with a huge population, you could travel five miles and be out in the country. As a matter of fact the less time you spend in one of those towns the better,” said Mr Holland. The speaker was also surprised to find dogs enjoying equal rights with the citizens, and he told of his discomfort when on a very wet day he had to sit beside a huge wet dog in a crowded bus.
