Hauseler, who had charge of the Third Echelon men. who travelled to Papakura last week from this district has nothing but praise for the manner in which the men conducted themselves during the journey. The men, he said, had a long journey to make, and thus had evcjry opportunity of playing up a bit, but he was pleased to be able to say that the behaviour was on the whole excellent. The draft assembled at Papakura station and marched intoi camp, where Captain Hauseler had; the pleasure of hearing them de-4 scribed by headquarters, as 'a parti-i cularly fine body of men.* QUOTA MAINTAINED PAEROA DISTRICT FURNISHES 500 It is interesting to note that the Third Echelon drew 500 men from the Paeroa military area. This number has ensured a continuation tof the district's full quota, and residents of the Bay of Plenty may be proud of the fact that this section, of the country is worthily represented in the three drafts which have been recruited in New Zealand for service overseas.
