“ You should be proud of the fact that a New Zealander has to be asked where he comes from,” said his Majesty’s Trade Commissioner (Air L. A. Paish) in Ashburton the other evening. “ You never can tell where a man comes from it New Zealand by his speech. I hav« froin Auckland to Bluff and you all talk the same; there are no dialects.’ “ The impression is that no one is talc ing the slightest notice of you,” said Air H. Al. Rushworth, M.P., speaking of a new member’s experiences in Parliament, at The Farmers’ Union Rotary social at Hamilton the other night (reports the Waikato Times). “When one rises to speak there are members walking in and out of the House and the remainder are either reading newspapers or writing letters. It is most discouraging at first.”
