The following is an extract from a letter received by the Secretary of the Students' Association from the Rotary Club of Wairoa:

"It is one of the aims of our movement to foster international understanding and good relations and to this end we seek to make such contacts as we can. There are, we know, a number of young men from overseas doing university study, and doubtless some of these are at Victoria. We write to ask if there are any of them who might welcome an invitation to spend Labour Day weekend (27th October) here in Wairoa with members of the Club. If some should be pleased to extend hospitality to, say, two of them, and their expenses from and back to Wellington would be paid. We would endeavour to give them further insight into the New Zealand way of life, which they would be able to look at from a different viewpoint from that of the big city. Race, nationality or colour would not matter . . ."
