BACK FROM RAROTONGA
MR. J. S. REID RETURNS A DELIGHTFUL HOLIDAY “I can’t understand why more New Zealanders do not go to the Cook Islands to holiday,” said Mr. I. S. Reid, licensee of the Royal George Hotel. Newmarket, who returned to Auckland on the Waipahi after a two months’ visit to Rarotonga. “It is a wonderful tour, and the people are delightful.”
Mr. Reid has been visiting his brother, Mr. E. A. Reid, who has been in the employ of the New Zealand Government for the past 18 years a s> Director of Agriculture in the Cook Islands.
During his visit he toured the group islands, though during most of his holiday he was in Rarotonga, He paid a visit to Tahiti also.
“The hotel accommodation throughout is very good,” he said in reply to a question. “There is any amount of sport—cricket, tennis, and football. The natives are excellent footballers, even though they do not wear boots.” Pie concluded by saying that a good motoring road encircled the island of Rarotonga, and was well patronised by car owners. Both Europeans and natives owned cars, the welll known “Henry Ford” being a prominent feature of the landscape.
