WAIOURU CAMP.
The "Star" deserves the thanks of the general public for making the conditions at Waiouru known. I, too, wonder why our boys are being sent so far from their homes for training under suck appalling conditions. I think we mothers been sadly misled re territorial training. The change from home to camp in the bleakest spot in Xew Zea : . land is too drastic for these boys, soine : ~ only 17 and IS years of age." When ' 2 these lads go into training they are-"■" "on active servieo" and deserve the besi the country can give. So wake up, mothers, it 5* in your hands to see conditions greatly improved ibefore it is too late. Territorial training for our boys, certainly. We'll leave it at that, DISGUSTED,
