The Mauriceville unit is now fortunate in having suitable lighting facilities staged by the Tararua Electric Power Board, thus enabling open air drill to be engaged in. On Tuesday evenings a physical culture specialist class is conducted by an expert instructor from Wellington. The members who attend this class will ultimately be responsible for training the local units in physical culture. Agricultural Lime. The local output of lime during the past week exceeded 700 tons.
