H. Chayter, Industrial De- | velopment Manager of the Whitby Industrial Commission. Mr. Chay- ter, besides a brief address on New Zealand's history, climate and geo- graphical location, brought a film | which Don Tutt, Principal of the | Whitby High School, showed 'to the club. Mr. Chayter was introduced | by Robert Langford and "was | thanked later by Charles Stafford. In his introduction to Mr. Chay- ter, Mr. Langford, president of the | | Whitby Chamber of Commerce, stated that Mr. Chayter was a native of London, England, coming to Canada five years ago. In Eng- land, he had been a director of Rubber Raw Materials Limited and | after coming to Canada had been vice-president of 'the O. K. John- ston Conipany in. Toronto. During World War II, said Mr. Langford, Mr Chayter had been in the Royal Navy and had visited many coun- tries of the world, including New Zealand, the home of his brother. SOCIAL PIONEERS Mr. Chayter prefaced his re- | marks by pointing out where New | Zealand was located and shbwing country, the smallest self-governing nation in the British Common- wealth. There are over two mil- | lion people in New Zealand, he | told the Club, 116,000 of whom are Maoris, who first settled in New Zealand about 600 B.C. The | country, he said, had "much more {of the English flavour" than other { countries of the realm. There, he | said, was the country of the 40- | hour week and a leader in social was at the end of the 19th century that New Zealand had begun its social legislation, oki age pensions, etc. which, contrary to the belief at that time, had resulted in prac- tically no unemployment. In fact, he said, there were exactly 33 per- sons unemployed in New Zealand at the present time. ¥ The Social Security program in New Zealand, sald Mr. Chayter, provided an unemployed men with three pounds 10 per week, his wife would receive the same amount and members of his family would {also be looked after. The average rate of pay in New Zealand, said he, was about $20 per week, but there, he added, the cost of living was much lower than here. As a result of their economy, he said, New Zealand had a standard of living comparable to Canaga and the United States. The govérnment, he said, was now embarking on a major housing program which pro- vided three-bedroom houses which rented for about $6 per week. It was of particular note, he said, for outsiders td %earn that the Maoris and the English citizens of New Zealand lived in 'complete equality. Although the Maoris are dark skinned, he said, there is no lifting of eyebrows if an English girl were to announce that she planned to marry a Maori and in all other matters the Maoris were on an equal footing with their white neighbours. : HOPES FOR WHITBY As he closed his address on New Zealand, Mr. Chayter stated that he had been receiving considerable help from the citizens of Whitby in his job here. "Whitby going to have industries -here.," 'Whitby Concert Association Has 'Successful Drive | The second annual membership campaign of the Whitby branch of the Canadian Concert Associa- tion has now been brought to a | successful conclusion.

Mr. Chevrier was asked about a statement by President Eisenhower Saturday to the effect that con-| struction of canals én the U.S. side | of the International Rapids site would be more economical than on | the Canadian side and would result in lower tolls. | "I find myself unable to agree with that statement," Mr. Chev-| rier sald, "because that statement | is not in conformity with our in- formation." 91 Candidates For 37 Seats In Nova Scotia HALIFAX (CP)--Ninety-one can- didates filed nomination papers Tuesday to contest the 37 seats in the May 26 Nova Scotia general election.

This was the announcement which kindled enthusiasm and added fresh encouragement to members of the board and canvass- ers who met Monday evening in the Town Hall. Canvassers who have been out during the past few days brought along cheques and pledges as tangible evidence of public interest and support for the project, and the feeling of the meeting was that with $30,000 contributed by a comparatively few, plus a few more citizens who would be willing to canvass, the objective of $100,000 would soon loom on the horizon.

When it appears that the financial problem - has been taken care of, steps will be taken to form a Com- pany to operate the arena for the shareholders, and all who subscribe are assured that they will have a voice in the election of officers and in the rink management. The site of the rink has not yet been chosen, nor yet the type of build- ing, but one thing is certain, it will be substantial and modern, and designed to take care of the needs of the tewn and district for many years. It was decided that another meeting of the Board and can- vassers will be held next Tuesday evening in the room upstairs in the town hall building formerly used by the director of recreation.

As a U.S. Coast Guard inquiry impended, others who lived through the disaster off Isle Royale were en route here in additional craft. At the same time it was disclosed that survivors on the Steinbren- ner"s raft tried vainly to keep a dying fellow seaman alive. The Steinbrenner went down in 600 feet of water early Monday. {With hatch coverss torn off by powerful winds, waves filled her hold with water.
