NATIONAL FILM UNIT
HE story of the building of Maraetai, the third great power scheme to be constructed on the Waikato, is told in ‘‘Maraetai,"’ a fullreel subject from the National Film Unit, which will be released for the week beginning on July 22. Maraetai will be the most powerful hydro-electric station on this fiver, and day shifts and night shifts-in every sort of weather-have been working at top speed to have it finished by the winter of 1951. The culmination of 28 months spent in driving and concrete-lining a tunnel 1,800 feet long and 25 feet in diameter was the blasting away of the rock barrier at the outlet-a job which had to be finished within hours. The film shows this exciting stage of the work being carried out. ®
