POST OFFICE HEADS FROM SOUTHLAND
“There is one interesting personal note which I would like to strike—it is that both the present Director-General of the Post and Telegraph Department and his predecessor are Southlanders,” said the Hon. Adam Hamilton in the course of a message read at the official opening of the new post office in Invercargill yesterday. “Until recent years the Director-General was Mr G. McNamara, who came from Invercargill,” the message continued, “and the present Dierctor-General, Mr J. G. Young, is from Winton and is connected with a widely known and highly respected Southland family.”
