MR FRASER’S YOUTH
MEMORIES FROM SCOTLAND The Prime Minister as a boy in Scotland is" well remembered by a minister in Dalkeith who has written to residents of Westport thanking them for a food parcel they sent to a Scottish family. “I have a special interest in New Zealand through your Prime Minister,” writes the minister. “I knew him as a lad and young man in Northern Scotland; he was born and brought up very near to my native place. ‘I well remember when he used to deliver the mail at my father’s house. He was then a postman. We all felt then that he was destined to go far and he certainly brought great credit to his native land. We deem you fortunate in having such a man at the head of your Government.”
