TThe gleaming white temple ($1 million) and the Church College of New Zealand ($7 million) are a tribute alike to American in-genuity and the faith and devo-tion of Mormons in the South Pacific. David O. McKay, 84 year old , world president, flew 7,000 miles to dedicate the temple on April 20. The college was dedicated on April 24. All the work both supervisory and general labor was donated! And most of the building ma-terials were provided by the church to avoid a drain on New Zealand's commercial supplies. Supervisors and skilled arti-sio- ns and builders from America who left their jobs at the call of church leaders directed the project. The workers, as many as 400 of them, also spent two years as "labor missionaries." Food and clothing are provided by church members. Then there are the materials.
