Life at Kawerau
[ JFE IN A NEW TOWN — KAWE- ~ RAU is the subject of three programmes which will be heard shortly from, main National stations. Barbara Basham and Peter Latham, of Wellington, journeyed north to spend a few days in this busy new provincial town, which is rising at great speed from what, until a couple of years ago, was a broad expanse of farming country. The pulp and paper mill which is the cause of it all is now almost completed, and soon the first orders to be fulfilled should be rolling along the new railway line to the new port at Tauranga. Kawerau’s population is an interesting heterogeneous one, with specialists in paper-making, forestry and engineering from all over the world, and their families living in the hundreds of recently-built houses. Barbara Basham’s and Peter Latham’s interviews with these people who are building a new industry and town will be heard on the YA and YZ Women’s Sessions at 11.0 a.m. on Wednesday, April 13; on the Main National Programme at 9.30 a.m. on Sunday, April 17, and at the same time the following Sunday.
