Vicar Uses Plane For Long Trips
| 'The Vicars of Ross, South Westland, in the past have had to use horseback, or in later days, since the Franz Josef Glacier tourist traffic has opened up the roads thus ..far south, the motor car, to get within reach of their scattered parishioners.
Recently the present Vicar, the Rev. K. O. Bathurst, decided to use the plane service to get to his jump-ing-off; place. He landed from the plane at Haast aerodrome and rejoined it at Okuru, and was home for tea, after a five days’ visitation that previously ran into a week or two.
The parish has a cottage at Waiho, adjacent to the little church, famous for its altar window facing the glacier. This is let as a holiday house to clergy who will take services there.
