Physical Uplift For N.Z.

JF New Zealand does not | Produce a couple of "Bradmen," a Nurmi or two, a Bobby Jones, plus a "pug" of parts, it will be just too bad, for these are the days of phy-| sical uplift. What with the Learn-to- | Swim Campaign and the National Fitness Week, together with countless individual efforts by schools and coileges, the Dominion, already noted in field, flood and ring, should make the world sit up and | take notice. , Broadcasting stations and newspapers are all doing their bit to focus the spotlight of public attention on this big drive, and if it is not a thorough success, it will not be for lack of publicity. The National Fitness part of it all will be inaugurated by his Excellency the GovernorGeneral in a speech from 2YA on February 19. Ail other national stations will rebroadcast him.
