Disease Delays Sheep Shipment
(New Zealand Press Association)
NAPIER, July 8.
Disease has delayed the first consignment of sheep from New Zealand to the Korean island of Cheju. The sheep were to have been shipped through Napier this week.
They are the first of a series of consignments to be sent to the island under C.0.R.5.0.’s Freedom from Hunger campaign. The first consignment consists of 400 ewe hoggets and 14 ram hoggets. The national secretary of C.0.R.5.0. (the Rev. H. C. Dixon) said the sheep were to have sailed in the Alkawait, which is taking a large shipment of cattle to Guam.
“They were to have been accepted on the basis that they had a clean bill of health. But they have contrac-
ted a disease called pinkeye,” he said. “This is not serious but it will have to be cleared up before they can go,” Mr Dixon said. It was now hoped to send the sheep in a Japanese ship to Japan and ship them from there to the island.
