The prejudice that appears to exist in the minds of some people against encouraging the tourist trade was mentioned by Dlr W. J. Broadfoot, DI.P. for Waitomo, who was the principal guest at a luncheon meeting of the Travel Dlen’s League, in Audkland. Dlr Broadfoot said an acquaintance of his, a business man, had roundly declared that he did not approve of the tourist trade, because he did not want to see New Zealand become a nation of waiters and yodellers. “ I told him there wasn’t much danger of that,” added Dlr Broadfoot. “We would import any yodellers that were needed.” The latest additions to the museum of old figureheads at the naval dockyard, Calliope Dock, Auckland, are the figures that formerly graced the bows of the wrecked barque India and the ship William Dlanson.
