WELLINGTON'S "APPLE QUEEN"
sed AUCKLAND, then Rotorua," said Miss "Bunnie" Symon, when we asked her where she proposed to spend her fifty-guinea honeymoon. "I’ve never been to Auckland, and all I know about Rotorua comes from guide-books." As we reported last week, Miss Symon is one of the four winners of the Apple Bride competition, conducted by the Commercial Broadcasting Service. Barring accidents, by the time this appears she will be Mrs. Arthur McGreevey. She is a typical New Zealand girl. Born in Oamaru, she was,educated at Waitaki Girls’ High School. But "Bunnie" wanted a wider life than was offered by her. home-town, so she came north with a friend, determined to see as much of the North Island as she could by working her way from place to. place. Nursing at Pukeora Sanatorium, serving in a chain store, waitressing in a hotel are some of the jobs she has tackled, Until her marriage she was tending a cigarette machine in a Petone factory. Hers was too bright a personality to hide in a chain production of a big factory, however, and she confesses that she is happier where she can meet people and see fresh faces every day. She met her husband during one of his trips to Wellington. He is a transport driver for a Hastings firm, so after the honeymoon they will live in Hastings. There’s a house all ready there for them.
