New Zealand Is Country of Scenic Wonders and Many Odd Paradoxes Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.—WNU Service. ON DECEMBER 16, 1642, Abel Tasman stood on the deck of the Heemskirk in the South Pacific and gazed out toward an unknown “great, high, bold land.” At the hands of an unimagina tive cartographer the new wavy lines added to the map became New Zealand, after the Netherlands Province of Zeeland, to which it bears not the least resemblance. The inappropriateness of its name, however, is not the only par ad )x of this British dominion of the Far South. Captain James Cook, who first explored the islands a century and a quarter later, took possession of them for his country only to have his claims rejected. Britain still la ter hoisted the Union Jack over the land to prevent French immigrants from settling in the place they cher ished. The country's capital bears the name Wellington, but the Iron Duke stood firm against the annex ation. Many New Zealanders who have never been away from the island’s shores, and whose parents likewise were born in the Dominion, still speak of England as “home." Here in an area approximately the size of Colorado are grouped the snow-mantled peaks of Switzer lend, geysers of a Yellowstone, vol canic cones of Java and Japan, and the lakes of Italy; the mineral springs of Czechoslovakia, fiords of Norway, seacoasts of Maine and California, and waterfalls higher than Yosemite. Largest and Smallest Pines. Glaciers slip down sharp moun tainsides from vast snow fields into subtropical bush. A short ride through a pass in the southern Alps will take one from Impenetrable evergreen forests into barren tus sock-covered lands. New Zealand Is the home of the massive kauri pines, some of which measure 22 feet in diameter and have reached hoary ages that rank them next to the sequoias. It also is the home of the smallest known representative of the pine-tree fam ily. Giant fuchsias grow to the height of 40 feet; a white buttercup has blooms four inches in diameter; flax is produced from a lily; man has imported all of the mammals, and many of the native birds can not fly. The Maoris were the first-known colonists of these southern islands. Guided only by the stars and a knowledge of the winds and ocean currents, they boldly piloted their slender double canoes from their homeland of “Hawaiki” (probably Tahiti and the Cook islands) to the shores of New Zealand in the Four teenth century. Legend credits them with having followed the sailing di rections of the famous Polynesian navigator, Kupe, who is said to have preceded them by 400 years. To the new land they gave the lilting, vowel - studded name, Ao tea-roa, which is variously trans lated as “The Long White Cloud,” “The Land of Long Daylight," and “The Long, Bright Land." Here they lived, increased, warred against each other, and cul tivated their taro and the more important kumara, or sweet potato, which they brought with them. Then came whalers, missionaries, and traders; and colonists arrived with gunpowder, conflicting social stand ards. and the desire to carve out new homes. Principal City Thrives. Protracted Maori wars, contested land claims, the discovery of gold, land booms, and a heavy depres sion—New Zealand passed through them all before she settled down to economic equilibrium. With its 221,300 people Auckland today has more than twice the British population of the whole country in ttib early 00's of the last century. As a ship nears the end of its 6,000-mile journey from the west coast of the United States, or the 1,200-mile span from Aus tralia, it skirts the islands that stud the cobalt waters of Hauraki gulf, enters Waitemata harbor, and anally ties up at the very foot of the thriving city. The early colonists chose' wall ■hen they staked out this harbor de settlement that once served A country as espitel and aow is the largest city in New Zealand. Long ago Nature’s forces, not man’s industry, reigned in this local ity. Within a radius of ten miles there are more than 00 burnt-out volcanic cones. Stand on the top of Mount Eden, one of the best preserved of the craters, which rises like an observation post near the center of the city, and you see the once-flery throats bulging or forming symmetrical cones on the landscape. From this same vantage point it is apparent how narrowly North island escaped being divided in two. The isthmus upon which Auckland sprawls, between the Waitemata harbor, looking out toward the Paci fic, and the Manukau harbor, open ing westward to the Tasman sea, is only eight miles wide. River estuaries and other indentations narrow it in places to a scant mile. Veritably, water seems almost to encircle the red- and green-roofed maze of the city’s business blocks and suburban residences. Abounds in Flowers. Business hovers close to Queen’s street, which leads up from the wharves, and in its adjacent nar row, twisting thoroughfares. But if the people responsible for the city’s growth have failed somewhat in town planning so far as the streets are concerned, they have more than exonerated themselves in providing broad park spaces. The parks seem almost number less. To them the flush of the sub tropics gives perpetual freshness and color. Flowers luxuriate all the year round. One cannot move about Auckland long without the new War Memorial museum claiming attention. It stands out boldly, a massive White Grecian building, above the wide greensward on the heights of the Domain. Here are housed treasures from many lands, but most inter esting of all is the comprehensive collection of Maori objects on dis play—the homes, elaborately carved storehouses, vfar canoes, war Im plements, and handicrafts of that powerful native race. Rolling southward in January from Auckland on the ribbon of concrete and asphalt, you pass soon into smiling open country, check ered with fields. Men are haying and herds of sleek cattle and sheep graze on a hundred rolling hills and valley. Agriculture was the task to which the New Zealand colonists first di rected their efforts, but in the pass ing years they have come to rely more and more on pastoral enter prise. An experimental shipment of frozen meat sent to England in 1882 pointed the way out of a pinching depression that had followed the collapse of a land boom. Historic Battle Scenes. Today New Zealand butter and other dairy products have attained world-wide distribution. Of more than 4,300,000 cattle pasturing on the land, nearly half are dairy stock. More than 28,600,000 sheep also range North and South islands, making New Zealand the world’s seventh largest sheep - producing country and the fifth largest in wool production. Near the little town of Mercer was the old frontier between Maori and colonist The whole regipn is historic ground, for here in 1863-4 the Maori warriors tested the best mettle at the British troops and long made pioneering a perilous venture. Today, Instead of a battleground, the district is a peaceful, English flavored countryside. Upon a hill now stands the St Stephens Maori Boys’ college, where Maori youths are being trained for useful pur suits. Just beyond Hamilton, the largest provincial town in Auckland prov ince, you may run into peat fires that are smoldering and eating into the black soil in many places. The continued dry, hot summer weather causes an outbreak of many ot these destructive fires. A few miles to the west of the main road that leads to Te Kuiti are the fascinating Waitomo caves. Interest in the caves hinges on a tiny worm—an unusual carnivorous glowworm scientifically, the Bole tophela luminosa. The Glowworm grotto is a magic ally uncanny spot. Floating along in a boat on the stillness of a subter ranean stream, one lodes up at myriads of these tiny with their lamps alight, that ------y For Discriminating People 1333 ■^ow is the time lor all smart * women to come to the aid of their wardrobes.

Good ice cream can be bought, and it can be made at home—in a freezer or in the freez ing tray of an automatic refrig erator. As quick as a wink a package of ice cream powder can be turned into luscious dishes of many-flavored ice cream. Here is a basic recipe for freezer ice cream—and with the addition of fresh fruits and ber ries or sauces, the recipe can be varied in many delicious ways. Freezer lee Cream. 1 quart milk 1 package Ice cream powder (vanilla, strawberry, lemon, maple, or choco late* flavor) Add milk very gradually to ice cream powder, stirring until dis solved. Pour into freezer can; place in freezer and pack mixture of cracked ice and salt around can (use 8 parts ice to 1 part salt). Turn slowly for 3 minutes, then rapidly and continuously un til frozen. Makes 1% quarts ice cream. Any of the following may be substituted for milk in this rec ipe: 1 quart rich milk or light cream, 1 cup cream and 3 cups milk, or 2 cups evaporated milk and 2 cups milk or water. •With chocolate ice cream powder, add % cup sugar.
