The co-operation of the citizens of Masterton is earnestly sought in order that the recruiting drive will bear good results. It is anticipated that there will be a big response from the youths of Masterton and a target of 100 new cadets has been sot by the publicity committee. Parents of youths between the ages of 16 and 20 years are especially invited to inspect the unit during its visit and see for themselves the high standard of training and other advantages offered by the Air Training Corps.
