If the few cars were taken from the streets and hitching posts put up at the saloons, M.G.M. could shoot a real Western without any props. This area seems to be extremely rich in agriculture, especially sheep farming. I understand that there are over two million sheep in th'j Vairarapa district (an area about half or maybe a third the size of Millard County.) The farms are very well kept, as are their owners. In going from town to town all that can be seen are fields full of grass and sheep. Most of New Zealand's 2 million population live in the cities but the real "Kiwi" is found in the country. He is more often than not a sheep farmer who owns several hundred acres of beautiful pasture land and several thousand head of sheep. He drives to town every Friday afternoon in his nice but small British car, meets his friends at the pub, and then returns for another week of station (farm) life. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is very strong in many places in the North Island, there being about 14,000 members. The South Island claims only about 5 hundred of them. Down there most of the Saints are European, Euro-pean, while on this Island the majority are Maories. The Church has acquired about 1500 acres of choice farm land just three miles from Hamilton, New Zealand's largest and fastest growing grow-ing inland city. Here is being built the most modern and up-to-date secondary school in the country; The New Zealand College (High School) Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. For over three years the members of the Church have been working at this project. It will be about another two years before it is completed. This "Mormon" project has already al-ready received much publicity even in far away parts of New Zealand. The buildings are of the latest design with all the conveniences and are centrally heated (something (some-thing new for this part of the world.) On a small hill to the east of the college sits the ground that has just been broken for construction construc-tion to begin on the New Zealand Temple. The architectual design will be similar to that of the British Temple. Both should be completed in about two years time. The actual work of both the college buildings and the temple is being done entirely by members of the Church. There are quite a number of men from the states who are supervising the work and nearly 150 local men who hav? been called on missions and are donating two or more years time to this project. The Church has its own forest and saw mill, a joinery and a brick factory; thus, when completed the school and temple will be the products of the Mormon Mor-mon united effort. Now that the Church has its own building materials, chapels are being built in different portions of the mission. Beautiful meeting houses have been built at Porirua, Gisborne, Nuhaka, Kaikohe, and Auckland (this one rivals any of the three Ward buildings in Delta also in Hastings a spacious chapel is nearing completion. Next to the Auckland area, Hastings Has-tings is the center of Mormondom among the Maories. Near there at Bridge Pa (Korongata) was the old Maori Agricultural College, which was destroyed by an earth quake in 1930. The college pre sently under construction is a continuation con-tinuation and enlargement of this school of years ago, though it is being built a couple of hundred miles from the old college site. This will have to be all for now. The "Chronicle" comes to me very regulaily and keeps me in contact with the latest happenings in west Millard. So for now 1 11 say, "E noho ra. - Nga whaka jnihi.

I DELTA miiU SCHOOL NEWS Wednesday night, November 2.1, the Delta chapters of the FFA and FHA, presented their annual Harvest Har-vest Ball. The theme was "Autmun Leaves."

LIFE IN PRISON Monday, November 28, Snow Allen Al-len presented a lyceum to the students stu-dents of the DHS. Mr. Allen described des-cribed life in a prison. We went with him (by imagination) to a typical prison and leaned what a prisoner s day is like. He cautioned caution-ed us about breaking the laws; he emphasized that little things we do form habits, and what is very unimportant at the moment may cause our "failing" later on. He gave illustrations to the fact that the home is a very worthwhile worth-while institution and told of the bleakness of prison lite. As he said, "You step into another world a world of rules and regulations, never again to do anything with out constant surveillance by the prison guards." He talked of tne guards and their orders, "to shoot to kill" if any inmate refuses o stop at a given command or warning warn-ing shot. Mr. Allen said that once you were in prison you couldn't "escape" "es-cape" the public opinion even when you were a normal citizen again. This was exemplified in the fact that Mr. Allen is still termed as an "ex-con" though it has been thirty years since his release from prison. He spent 15 years in an Illinois state penitentiary for forgery for-gery when he was about 30 years old. His purpose for telling his story, as he said, was to save others from this same desolate future.
