FOREIGN IMMIGRANTS
MANY NATURALISED DURING PAST FOUR MONTHS.
No fewer than 54 foreign immigrants have been granted certificates of naturalisation in New Zealand extending over four months this year. Italians represent a quarter of the total. One is a tomato-grower, while most of the others are agricultural workers. There is a slaughterman and a watchmaker, too. Germans number six. with rather more variety of occupation, including a "foreman,” a waterside worker, and an importer. Dalmatians number five, mostly domiciled in Auckland, and mostly labourers. so it would seem that they are among the gum-diggers.
Sweden, Norway, and Denmark have contributed 15. with an oysterman. two painters, a waterside worker, a carrier, and an engineer, the remainder being connected with the sea. Poles are a select trio, including a company director and a wool buyer, the other representative being a labourer.
There is a theatre manager from Denmark, a Latvian farmer, a . hairdresser. a market gardener, a contractor. a caretaker, a Japanese university student and a German medical practitioner.
