The heat of the New Zea- lamd summer was not un- pleasant. Mr. Kerr reports. It was a dry heat. The swim- ming and fishing were also great. and the oranges from the supermarket just don‘t compare with those picked fresh from the tree. The people he met, including the native Maoris. were friendly, outgoing, genuine. The fish fries on the beach were another highlight. Houses in New Zealand seldom have basements. Mr. Kerr reports. There are util- ity rooms for heating equip- ment needed for the cold winters (about 40 degrees Fahrenheit) and the air seems almost completely pollution free. What do in- dustrialists in New Zealand know that we don't know? A brief stop in Samoa al- most took his breath away. It was unbearably hot. and the humidity of the impend- ing monsoons was stifling. Mr. Kerr liked Samoa better than Hawaii. however. What he saw of Hawaii during his brief stop there was “too commercialized". Now it is back to fighting fires in Richmond Hill in a cold Canadian winter.
