Back to the Mainland
F the sessions on the 1951 Census in which panels from Dunedin, Wellington and Christchurch have so far taken part I found the Christchurch panel the most entertaining and informative. In the Dunedin panel ("Are we in danger of becoming a Tadpole State?"), quite apart from not knowing what the operative word tadpole implied, the listener laboured against a rather heavy and monotonous pre-
sentation of theme. Wellington scrambled up the slope a little, becoming more fluent in discussing the scope and power of town planning authorities, but except for one long unidentified speech the Christchurch panel may be said to have informed because it entertained. Not only was the humour G@ontinued on-next page) ;
R : e (continued from previous page) sharper but the interjections showed that the forum was on its toes. Through the skilful questioning of the chairman the. subject "Must the South Island continue to have fewer people than the North?" yielded solid answers which made a. possible foundation for constructive work in the community. This could happen through the formation of a Development Association representing diverse interests in the community, and if the South Island abandoned certain old-fashioned conceptions of finance which have, up till now, impeded its progress.
