SKI CLUBS FINANCE NEW RESORTS
New Zealand Develops Winter Sports
By J. C. GRAHAM
Auckland, New Zealand.
Few people would associate the South Seas with winter sports, yet in New Zeffand ski-ing has made spectacular progress in the last few years and the biggest sports club in the country is a ski club.
The exploits of Sir Edmund Hilary made the world aware that the mountains of New Zealand provide a fine training ground for climbers. They are equally well suited as a playground for other winter sports.

By RON BURTON
