RAILWAYS MAGAZINE
FEATURES OF FEBRUARY ISSUE
In the current New Zealand Railways Magazine, James Cowan brightly reveals the charm of “Little Waikare,” the peaceful lake of a hilly isle of Lake Waikaremoana. In "Sermons in Stones,” Ken Alexander, who is gaining fame as a humorist, shows a merry outlook on life. G. G. Stewart skilfully tells the story of “New Zealand’s Greatest Gold-Digger,” the huge dredge
built by the New Zealand Railways Department for a company workjng on the West Coast of the South Island. "Let's Build New Zealand,” is the text of a comprehensive and informative article by O. N. Gillespie on the national need of an extensive development of the Dominion's manufacturing industries. Charles E. Wheeler pleasantly takes his readers on a round of New Zealand light-houses, a trip on the Government steamer “Matai.” The playing career of Neil Edwards (a member of the Head Office staff of the Railways Department), New Zealand’s
champion this year is well described by an expert. J. Watt has an interesting narrative on the names of some towns of New Zealand. “Storied Stones” is the appropriate title of an excellent article by Catherine Keddell on St Mary's Church, New Plymouth. Leo Fanning gives a light chat on Akaroa. There are about 60 illustrations, including original sketches.
