GOVERNOR-GENERAL IS OFTEN OPENING THINGS.
"It seems to be one of the chief functions of a Governor-General to open things,” said Lord Bledisloe at the opening of extensions to the *Rangiora High School farm yesterday. “At one time I lind myself opening Parliament, at another time conferences, then agricultural shows and then letters from various ambitious people who desire to be Prime Minister of this country and seem to think I can effect the process. However, I have never before had the interesting experience of opening a farm.” He could only hope, he said, that as a result of the ceremony the gate he • opened would be, in every sense, a gateway to a field of extended, useful and practical knowledge.
