The Forgotten South
ISTENING to comments on ourselves is a national custom from which I, too, get my share of pleasure, so it was with complacent interest that I settled down to the programme New Zealand in Summer, heard from 4YA recently. It was a good programme, swift, varied’ and interesting; my one criticism was its grossly inaccurate sub-title: "A panorama of people at work and play, from North Cape to the Bluff." While we heard about North’ Island under-water fishing, and sheep and pony clubs and cities and celebrations, that no inconsiderable portion of our country which begins south of Wellington was, in this case, unconsidered except for brief mention of Nelson (the Cawthron Institute),
Canterbury (a fire ranger), and Westland (whistling frogs)-a laughable coyerage of South Island activities, to the local mind, and one that it is to be hoped will be recognised as such by the rest of the country.
