THOUSANDS SIGN CENTENNIAL ROLL. FURTHER MASTERTON NAMES. The signatures of tens of thousands of visitors to the Exhibition have already been recorded in the National Centennial Roll of Commemoration. This feature will form a record which will not be duplicated in the lifetime of any of those signing it. When the roll is called and the record reopened at New Zealand’s bi-centennial in 2040, grand-children of those who have set down their names will no doubt be able to see with pride that their parents were represented at the Dominion's first great National celebration. The year 1940 marks not only the commemoration of 100 years of pioneering in New Zealand, but also other great and fateful events in the history of the world. By signing the roll at the Exhibition visitors place on record their participation in the nation’s tribute to the pioneers: in 100 years’ time they themselves will be regarded pioneers by their descendants. When the Exhibition closes, the roll will be beautifully bound and placed in the Dominion Museum as a permanent record of the Centennial celebrations. The Exhibition authorities are anxious that all visitors to the Exhibition should avail themselves of this opportunity of recording their attendance.
