My nomination goes to the man who has done more to foster and encourage that undeveloped genius Charles B. Schmenk than has any other person in the world today. My vote goes to Charles B. Schmenk.

My vote jointly to the two people who have together expressed to the world the courageous and independent standpoint of our small nation in world affairs. I elect them New Zealand Ambassadors to London and Washington.

There can be no doubt that the only worthy recipient of the title "Man of the Year" is New Zealand's goodwill ambassador to the nations of the really free world, our friends in Russia and China. I mean, Warren Freer.

My vote to the man who supports and maintains the most expensive and useless Old Men's Home in the country, and does so cheerfully without ever getting value in return for the money he spends. The New Zealand Taxpayer.

More than anybody else, one man has performed the work of the Lord by turning New Zealanders from the vices of smoking and beer drinking and splendouring in the sinful luxuries of driving their own cars; and has spread the hand of continence over the land. My vote to Lord Mire.
