CHILD EVACUEES NEW HOMES IN WAIKATO Brimful of excitement and enthusiasm for their new land of adoption, five British children evacuees arrived in Hamilton yesterday. They were from the party of 89 which reached the Dominion last week, all five being from Scotland. Yesterday morning they were met at the Frankton Junction railway station by Mr L. G. Anderson, of the Child Welfare Department, Hamilton, and Mr W. H. Paul, secretary of the Hamilton Committee for the Reception of British Children. All five children have come to relatives by whom they were 'nominated. In the meantime there are no details regarding any children arriving in the Waikato to be adopted by citizens who have offered homes for them.
