NEW CAMP AT WAIOURU
Huge Tented Area Waicuru is to become a large training centre for Territorial Forces in New Zealand. When the camp is complete it will accommodate approximately 6,000 officers and men, A big building programme has already begun at Waiouru. The | units in training there will be housed in tents, but the administrative blocks, such as the hospital, the canteens, the camp stores and head offices, will be in wood, Many of these new buildings will occupy the former area of a pine plantation which has been removed to make room for them. It is proposed to tar-seal the road to the camp and also the main highway to Taihape. The army schools at Trentham, Narrow Neck, and Burnham are also to be enlarged to accommodate a greater number of officers and non-commissioned officers who are to be trained there for the enlarged Home Defence and Territorial scheme,
