KZtTntli GAZETTE-TIMES. Thunder. MT . 70 Barbara's Diary (Barbara' Diary U a day-to-day on the ot report of A tour taken thU past winter by the Orvllle Cut&forths. the Phil M honey, and the Fhll Cohna to the South Seaa. New Zealand and Australia.) The cemetery at Rotorua Is built on top of the ground with concrete block covers for this aame reason. The lake at Rotorua Is noted for Its rainbow fishing, bo wc rented a boat and went out to try our luck. We had a beau tiful Maori woman. Mia Potts, who had studied for and passed the pilots tests as our fishing guide, much to the pleasure of Orvllle and Phil M. Everyone caught fish but Phil M. and he did have one to the boat and lost It. Could have been the. wintart of the eutae as she was ready with the net to lift the fish Irom me water. Hazel became so excited when cha had rnf strike her lure, she threw her last package of Amer lean cigarettes and matches ov er board. We took the fish we caught th hntol and the chef pre nared Dart of them for dinner that evening. As we continue our travels on south through the north Island wo came to a dam In the Wair ahei river. The total flow of the river goes through a tunnel to a power generating plant, but to preserve the beauty of the cascading waterfall, at 10:00 a m. and at 2:30 p.m. each day, the gates in the dam are open ed for one hour to let the wa ter flow down the original chan nel. It Is a sight well worth tim ing ones travels to see. The wa ter Is so blue as it falls over the rocks and fills the pools. It takes 20 minutes for all the water to fill the rapids to their natural state. ThU is one of nine hydro-electric dams in the Wair ahei river to control floods and produce electricity for private and industrial consumption. From here we went to the fa mous Hydrothcrmal power plant. Here they drill bores (wells t thousands of feet down to hot steam caps in the molten lava.j steam generators. 87 of all the electricity used on the north is land is generated here. From here we went to lake Rotoaro. We stopped at the in formation center to view a mod el of one of the largest engineer ing projects in the world where the rivers and streams form Mt. Torgariro and Mt. Ngurahoe are being diverted to the Wai halo River and Lake Toupo. This is done with large tunnels, some of them 25 miles long, to firm up the water supply to Lake Toupo and the down stream hy droelectric dams. On to Chateau in the Tonga riro National Park on Mt. Rua peha. This is a very famous ski area on the north island in the winter. Mt. Ruapehu is an ac tive volcano. It erupted this last December and the occupants of a village at timber line evac uated just in time to save them selves from a lava flow that covered most of the buildings. Mt. Tongariro and ML Ngaura hoe are also active volcanoe. The residents of the area told us that they rumble, growl and emit steam and smoke at fluc tuating Intervals. ML Tongario was putting on a good display r tipnm as we drove by the base. Just before we arrived In Wan ganui we went by many flax fields on plantations. We soon came to a flax shredding plant where we stopped to see how the plant was prepared for dry ing. The green flat leaves are run through a bar type machine and washed. The fiber Is then draped over wire racks which are then taken to drying fields to dry in the sun. They make rugs from this fiber after It has teen dyed. The fiber U also us oft in the manufacture of warp ing for wool and synthetic fiber rugs. Much of it is exported to the U. S. and otner countries. From Wanganul to Wellington the terrain is more uai ana lev el than what we had previous ly drove through. Sheep and cat tl erazlne all alone the high u-av Th number of sheco is otruriallv amazing. Young sheep are called lambs from the day they are born until cpi. i From then until the next or sec ond Sept. 1 in their life span they are called Huggetts. From then on they become sneep or mutton when butchered lor We met Phil and Marian Cohn in Wellington. They had left us at Rotorura and went on ahead as they had some appointments to fulfill. We could not get res ervations on the same plane for Christchurch on the south is land so Phil and Marian went on ahead again and we were to take a later plane. This gave Orville an opportunity to visit with the Minister or Agriculture for this area. Phil M.. Hazel and i tfw.k a tour of the city of Wel lington and had the chance to vivit the rose and beeonia ear- dens which were in full bloom and really gorgeous.

Dear Editors: Thank you for showing us how you print the paper. We had fun in Heppner. lone Kindergarten Immunization Records are Prepared Announcement Believine that both Repub licans and Democrats should have the right of a choice for the office of Morrow County Judge, I did not file for the nosition In the primaries as friends urged me to do. I sincerely appreciate the write-in votes which express a desire for a change in this office. I feel complimented that so manv persons wrote in my name, and I assure you I shall file for the position as an independent on the No vember ballot. I do not believe this coun ty requires an $8,000 a year judge with a very liberal ex pense account. If I am elected the salarv will be reduced as the first order of business at the first session of the court, ft seems likelv there are oth er places I can save tax money. William W.
