likely
keenly in New Zealand than in
most countries of the world,
primarily because so many
people live near harbors,
beaches, rivers or lakes.
Government estimates
claim one In every 30 New
Zealanders owns a pleasure
craft of some kind.
And more than 200,000 of
them - out of the country's
population of three million —
are involved actively in
yachting or powerboating.
New Zealanders are doing
what comes naturally. Re-
member, it was the sea that
brought the Maori people here
some 600 years ago in seven
long canoes from the legend-
ary mid-Pacific island of Ha-
waiiki. TTiey were followed in
the 17th and 18th centuries by
European explorers like Abel
Tasman, James Cook and Du-
mont d’Urville. And in^their
wake came English and'Scot-
ih immigrants Jo fdbnd a
A country that depends
on the sea for its for-
eign trade and internal trans-
portation, New Zealand is
aptly named after Zeeland, or
‘‘Land of the Sea," a mari-
time province bf The Nether-
lands.
Maori canoes were travers-
ing sea and river when the
Europeans arrived here.
They were quick to follow
suit. Yachting as a sport dates
back to 1850, when a series of
schooner races was held in the
Auckland Harbor. Since then
the Auckland yacht fleet has
built up to become one of the
finest in the world.
During the Anniversary
Day Regatta in January each
year, the yacht is as much a
part of the Auckland scene as
the motorcar.

Hand in hand with the
growth of small boat owner-
ship over the last two decades
there has developed a skilled,
well-diversified boatbuilding
and equipment industry.
Ferro-cement boatbuilding
had its birth in New Zealand
in 1959 when an Auckland civil
engineer, the late Morley
Sutherland, built a dinghy
shell with two bags of cement,
beach sand and a roll of chick-
en coop mesh. By today's
standards it was crude. But
this tiny craft heralded a new
era of boat construction
across the land.
In the last few years New
Zealand technicians have
helped to establish ferroce-
ment boatbuilding projects in
Hong Kong, Fiji and Western
Samoa, regions where con-
through resistance to rot and
worm.
Ferro-cement boatbuilding
also has caught on in the Peo-
ple’s Republic of China,
where thousands of cement
sampans now ply rivers and
canals.
Another New Zealand revo-
lution in yachting came with
the invention of the water jet
boat, a craft which can travel
and maneuver at high speeds.
Propelled and guided by the
jet, the Hamilton jet boat can
achieve 186-degree turns in its
own length, negotiate logs,
sandbars and shallow river
rapids.
Similarity Marks
Global Observance
Of Independence
CHICAGO (AP) - Almost all
countries of the free world set
aside a day to celebrate their
independence. And while the
dates differ, the celebrations
have a universal similarity.
Here in the United States, the
Fourth of July is marked by
parades, speeches, dedications
land fireworks displays. The
tradition- dates back to 1777,
when Independence Day was
celebrated in Philadelphia.
ShipS in the harbor fired 13-
gun salutes to mark the otca-
bonfires, rang bells and ignited
fireworks, according to World
Book Encyclopedia. Ironically,
music for the official dinner
was provided by the Hessian
band which had been captured
by George Washington at Tren-
jton, N.J.
In 1778. Philadelphia again

celebration. This time it com-

Day and the ratification of the
Constitution - The celebration

of producing a single, standard
business letter has jumped 11.
per cent in the course of a
year, up from $3.41 in 1974 to
$3.79 m 1975. And. if postage
