DOMINION DAY.
YESTERDAY was the fourteenth anniversary of the proclamation of New Zealand’s changed status from colony to dominion. The civil service and banks observed a public holiday. The only indication locally that any special event was being celebrated was the display of the X.Z. Ensign at the Post Office. At the local State School special reference was made to the anniversary by the head teacher. The changed status elevated the title of “Gov-
ernor” to “Governor-General,” with added emoluments and a wasted day in the Civil Service. Now that the change is constitutionally recognised, why celebrate the anniversary?
