But No-one Smiles
(N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, July 11.
New Zealanders are far too serious, according to a Mexican who has just spent four days in the country. Before he left Auckland today for Mexico City, Mr Eduardo GarciaJaen, a journalist, smiled broadly and said: “Nearly all the people I have seen have been too serious they never smiled.” “It was the same everywhere I went, in diningrooms, in the streets and on buses. You have sach a high standard of living here. Everybody should be smiling. “At home in Mexico there are only the very poor and the very rich, yet everybody smiles.”
