All these and other items we hope to feature in our pages from time to time. .• '• , <' *• Our aims are to entertain, to provide a means of self-expression in Camp journalism, to foster the co-operative spirit tn all forms of Camp life, and to provide a printed record of our past and future work as a--whole.

Our motto will be .to advance as we’ go along. • ?’/ ' As previously explained "TH® RANGIORA GUNNER” is to be run on a co-operative basis, and this means that the success of the paper depends upon the interest shown, in it, by the whole Corro* - . •■* ‘ ‘ ■' ■ ' • * Wc gratefully acknowledge our appreciation of the Camp Commander for his kind permission to publish the paper; Mr* Leslie Sutherland ■ for his enthusiasm and organisation.’ and our thanks to all others _iv.gaiOßZ>. cuimr"., a? ■ ROtualtty* • ’ - Visit the
