tsnsuring waiouru people are enroiied on the Electoral Roll before 1 September is a task the Waiouru Community Advisory Committee set themselves at their meeting last Monday night.

The committee feels it is vital people check the Electoral Roll which will be made available for inspection from 4 August. Enrollment makes them eligible to vote in the local government elections and the area health board elections in October. The committee are intending to send out an information letter to all households in Waiouru with information on enrolling, voting and nominating candidates. Moving milk Another topic discussed was relocating the present Milk Depot out of the Army camp. It was thought the section next to the RSA in Waiouru would be suitable but as Mr Murray Fitchett informed the meeting, the land was zoned residential by the Rangitikei

County Council and therefore not suitable. It was then thought there was a defence section out of camp that

could be used for the milk depot and this possibility is to be investigated. Health meeting Secretary Kathy Frater reminded the meeting of the Wanganui Area Health Board Public meeting at the Community Centre on

Monday 31 July and hoped for a large turnout from Waiouru residents. Kathy also told the meeting she was organising another budget advisors' training course to be run in Waiouru over three Mondays from 9 -5pm and would like to hear

from anybody interested to doing the course. On completion of the course participants will receive a certificate from the New Zealand Foundation of Family budget advisors and would then assist Waiouru families with budgeting problems.
