"There's Plenty of Time"
HERE was, and still is, a fascination about South Westland which to those who have experienced it will remain for all time. Even the ’plane, motor-car, telephone and bridged rivers will not destroy it entirely. There was a tradition in South Westland which will be hard to kill and that is the feeling that "there is plenty of time." In the old days, time did not seem to matter: " Why hurry; there’s plenty of time." This happy feeling" certainly existed in the far south at my last visit a few years ago-will it be destroyed by the extension of the road, by the car and ’plane? I, for one, hope not, for one of ‘the greatest fascinations in the old days was that once you got south of Ross, you felt that time didn’t matter, news didn’t matter, in fact nothing mattered which might interfere with the even tenor of a placid existence.-(" Where Time Stood Still." A. P. Harper. 3Y A, February 2.)
