building to be erected in taihape. FOR BENEFIT OF TROOPS AT WAIOURU. ißy Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON. This Day The Minister for Defence, Mr F Jones, announced today that the Government was making provision to erect a suitable building in Taihape in order that amenities for troops on short leave irom Waiouru Camp could be provided. “Waiouru is the largest Territorial camp in New Zealand and the need for such facilities has been occasioned,” said Mr Jones, “principally because of the situation of the camp. There have been provided within the camp recreational and other amenities similar to those of the main mobilisation camps, but the latter are situated near cities, where for soldiers on leave entertainments, amusements, hospitality and patriotic club facilities are available As a majority of the troops on short leave from Waiouru Camp spent their leave in Taihape, it is necessary to make provision there for an appropriate building.”
