Miss Kathleen Rogers, it turns out, was not the woman who flew the Tasman Sea in the Faith in Australia (says a northern paper). It has been published all over New Zealand that she was, but members of the Faith in Australia party cenfessed that she was not even in the plane. It appears that it was a different young woman altogether, and that her name from birth has been Miss Ellen Rogers. Miss Ellen Rogers was christened Miss Kathleen Rogers by someone in New Plymouth as soon as she landed in New Zealand, and that name has stuck ever since and has been used at almost every public function she has attended. When members of the Fatth in Australia’s party have been inviting people to “Come and meet Kath,” and things like that, no one has known just how much they have been enjoying their little joke.
