NEW ZEALAND FIRST TO WELCOME NEW YEAR
THANKS TO MR. SIDET Press Association. WELLINGTON, To-day. An interesting feature of summer time is that New Zealand begins the new year ahead of any other people or: the globe. The Dominion gets a good start Hitherto the Fiji islands have been the first fully-inhabited spot to welcome the new year, but due to Mr. Sidey, New Zealand will be half ar hour ahead of Fiji on this occasion instead of half an hour later.
