Some people say that they find travelling in America expensive, while others see the country for a very moderate expenditure. A Christchurch boy who is at present at college in America wished to see something of the country in his term holidays, so (says the Press) he bought a secondhand motor car and travelled some hundreds of miles in it, through cities and towns, seeing a good deal of Canada, as well as of the United States. For the car he paid 15 dollars (£3 2s Gd), and expended only 4s Gel on it for repairs. Throughout his long journey he did not’have the slightest trouble with the car—not even ' a puncture—and on the journey he sold it for the same amount that he had given for it, delivery to be given in January next, when he will be leaving America on his return to New Zealand.
