v MONDAY, APRIL 12, 1971,

Zealand-Australian tour were
more like a holiday ‘than a—

official Bovernmental matters
that Indian: Affairs’ Minister.
Chretien had to attend too

Our. first day involved going
from -Oitawa to San. Francisco. ’|
and staying there: overnigh
Our second day involved going
from San Francisco to Honolulu
and ‘again staylng : overnight.

During these first two days I
spent’ the. time — getting
acquainted wilh ‘some of the
others on the trip and in reading ~
about-..New~ Zealand and
Australia, for the real purpose.
is to acquire. some firsthand
knowledge of the relationship of
ihe Maori people of New

Zealand to the social and
soiticel structure -there and
also that the aboriginal people
_ of Australia.

Statistically this trip involves
a lot of travelling, In distance
“we will fly more than 25,000 [
miles from Ottawa.to the time
we return to Ottawa,

We proceed through a number
of time zones involving about 12
hours of total time change or go
alrnost half way’ around the
world in two directions ’- from
east to west and from north to
south, .

The longest teg ‘of the journey
is from Hawaii to New Zealand -
about. 3600 miles’ with
approximately 10 hours of .
flying time.

‘In’ addition “‘to the
governmental purpose .of the
(rip there is. . also a milltary
aspect to it. .

There were four Canadian
generals; four. colonels, two
majors and quite a number of
captains, sergeants,. corporals
and one private, In addition a
New Zealand . general came
along. From conversations with
these Armed Forces’ 1 wasn't.
able to discover just what the
military purpose was - but that
was understandable.

I can't fully describe to you
the feeling I get about the -
immense size of the Pacific
’ Ocean, but from San Francisco

we spent about 14 hours in the

air at a speed af more’than 500

miles per hour. All of it aver

water and still there was’ more
ocean into the distance. ~
I found the Hawaii-New

While all this was interesting
from the tourist point of view,
‘Most of the Maori “people with
whom I spoke wanted to talk
| about ‘the political system.”

The interesting part of the
election process for Maori is -
in New. Zealand in which only .
Maori candidates can run. and
only Maori can -vote.°

- New-Zealand is ‘divided’ into |

other Ridings and any'Maori, in
effect, can cheose whether he
wants to vote in a Maori riding
or hat is called a European
riding, =~

There ‘appears. to ‘be a
difference of opinion about this
system among the Maori. Some
want to keep it and see the seats
increased to seven, which would.
appear to be the proper ration

Pacific "Western: Airlines
teday announced an air travel .
plan with a. plus feature for
retired citizens. -.PWA’s Vice-
President, Marketing, J.B.
McGuire, today announced the
implementation of a confirmed
space, Teduced rate for citizens
over sixty-five. The confirmed
space offer will be extended to
senior citizens. under the’
airline's newly created “Golden
Club”. |

McGuire said the airline had
held off the establishment of the
Golden Club until operating
experience and traffic statistics
proved the company’s ability to
offer confirmed space. The
company did not believe in
offering reduced fares to senior
citizens that required them to
“stand-by” until all full-fare
passengers had been
accommodated and then
perhaps he: left behind. if the
| plane was full. :

Citizens over 65 years, upon
statement of age Cilled out on a
simple $3.00 application card
