SENSATION SEEKERS
ft -is not only the present generation who are. or have been, sensation-seekers, according to remarks by the DeputyMayor of Christchurch (the Rev. J. K. Archer) as the opening of the Canterbury Aero Club’s exhibition on Friday afternoon last. He said tna.-t those persons who had spent their early life in the agricultural districts of England, as well as other people, had followed the progress of living from the time when balloon ascents were a feature of most shows. Often the population waited for hours while file balloon was being tilled with gas. land even then it sometimes did not go up. If it did, there was generally an extra thrill in a parachute descent by a man or woman, and many were often disappointed if the parachuUst did not crash to a sudden death. The disappointment was there because, in the old days as well as the present, there was that considerable portion of the population which craved for sensation.
