Thursday, June 13, 1963 NUMBER 15 Plea is Sounded For lone Writer Once again, the Gazette Times issues a call for help from the lone area. Mrs. Ernest Christopherson, who has served as correspon dent since last year, states that she can no longer work in that capacity.

The Clarence Wheelhouses, in-laws of the Martins from Olex, and host family to Patricia, brought her along to the Martin's 25th wed ding anniversary. June 9. This elementary school teach er from Waimate, South Island, New Zealand, is one of four IFYE's from that country who are visiting in the United States this summer, They received their briefing at Berkeley, California, and then separated to visit var ious states. Pat has been with the Wheelhouse family for four weeks, and after 4-H Summer School at Corvallis, will live with a family at McMinnville. A journey to Michigan will com plete her IFYE visitation. She is a 4th generation New Zealander, being of Scottish descent. About 94 of the 2,174,062 population are descen dants of settlers who came from Great Britain and other Eur opean countries. The rest of the people are brown-skinned Ma- oria (Polynesian) who lived in New Zealand before the settlers arrived. The Maorias have inter married with the whites and have adopted many of their ways, she says. The country is made up prin cipally of three islands, (North Island, South Island, and Stewart Island) about 1200 miles south west of Australia. This self-governing country is a member of the British Commonwealth. The brown-haired lass describes her home land as snow-covered mountains, green plains and for ests, and sparkling white beaches making it one of the most beautiful lands in the world. (It has an area almost the size of Colorado). "We have something similar to 4-H work in our country," she explains, "They are called the 'Country Girls' or 'Young Farm ers Clubs.' Their membership is for boys and girls a little older than ours, (14-30). About half of New Zealand is used for agriculture, she con tinues. The farmers use modern methods of breeding, fertilizing, and cultivation. Dairy farming and sheep (Marino) raising are the chief source of home income. In fact, New Zealand ranks among the leading sheep-producing countries of the world, she boasts. Great Britain is New Zea land's best customer for wool, butter, cheese, and frozen meats. When asked about animal life on the islands she told of the Kiwi bird that has no tail and cannot fly because its wings are too small. "It's open season on deer all the time," she tells. "They are in too much abundance and are too destructive " She is anxious to meet two people. One is Glenn Klein, state 4-H extension agent, Corvallis, who was an IFYE to New Zea land about 10 years ago. The other is Rhoda Campbell, former IFYE from Scotland who was hosted by ' the Randall Martin family in 1960. Rhoda is now teaching in Christchurch, New Zealand, about 100 miles from Pat's home.
