The Government has decided to make a display at the Canadian National Exhibition, Toronto, which is to be held this year during the fortnight from August 28th. to September 12th.. 1926. The Canadian Exhibition authorities

have allotted 17,090 square feet of space free of charge to the New Zealand Government. A good selection of exhibits has been collected by the department, the opportunity arising from the closing of the New Zealand and South Seas Exhibition being fully availed of. Most of the exhibits have gone forward bv the' Canadian Explorer, which sailed for Montreal on June Ist. For the New Zealand section of this Exhibition Mr Peter Barr, of Dunedin, has hco.n anpointed Commissioner, and Mr J. AY. Collins. Secretary of the Department of Industries, Deputy Commissioner. The Italian immigrant is becoming a familiar figure in the sparsely populated districts o ftlio West Coast, which are not popular with the average New Zealander on account of the loneliness of tho surroundings. Although tho Italians are largely engaged in hush work and coal mining two late aiiivals were seen working in a sluicing claim in the locality of the old gold diggings at Maori Point. It was ascertained that the Italians were industrious and thrifty, and had adapted themselves wonderfully to their new surroundings. Since they came on the job, they had never visited a town and already had accumulated nearly enough cash to bring, their wives and families out from Italy. Their compatriots.in other parts of the Coast were adopting a. similar attitude.
