NATIONAL FILM UNIT
The National Film Unit’s Weekly Review, No. 237, covers the arrival of the flying-boat Hythe, bringing the first British delegates to the Civil Air Conference, and the peat fires that have broken out again in the Waikato. district and are raging as never before. Another interesting item shows the experiments being made at Ruakura Animal Research Station in the use of a power spray for dipping sheep, but the highlight of the reel is a documentary sequence dealing with the search for gold in Central Otago. There are scenes of the panning for gold by old prospectors, modern sluicing, and dredging on the ,Clutha riverwith one of the biggest dredges in the world in operation.
