RECREATION AT FIRE STATIONS
A PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT
The Physical Welfare and Recreation Branch of the Department of Internal Affairs is finding in the fire stations a ready response to its activities. Many o5 the fire stations had developed their social and recreational facilities in the past, and the branch had been able to quote their work to fire stations elsewhere and disseminate useful information.
In its various activities the Wanganui Fire Station lias shown much enterprise, including the organising of billiards, boxing, dancing and social evenings, indoor bowls, and tennis and it has further shown its willingness to co-operate with other bodies by allowing the use of the tennis court to the Wanganui Ladles' Basketball Association, which uses the court for practice during the winter by electric lighting.
