NEW ZEALAND RAILWAYS MAGAZINE
FEATURES OF MARCH ISSUE A total of 60 illustrations, including two in full colour, and a wide range of special articles, are features of the March issue of the New Zealand Railways Magazine. Ken Alexander, with verse, prose, and drawings, does full justice to the title of his article, “Get Fit or Go Phut.” O. N. Gillespie’s article on New Zealand’s progress in engineering will be a revelation to many people who have not been in touch with the big developments. Joyce West, who has achieved a high reputation as a writer of verse and prose, has a charming treatise on the lakeland of Taupo. Aroha Bruce’s “Adventures With Bingo” will please children, and their, elders. Neville R. Lewers reveals the lure of highways and byways of Canterbury. Mountaineers should be thoroughly interested in John Magurk’s description of ascents of Ruapehu in 1883. Another good survey of the past is in an article on the New Zealand Railways of 1881. “Helen,” in her excellent section for women, has some wise remarks on the middle age of women. W. F. Ingram, one of New Zealand’s best sporting writers, has another welcome installment of “Panorama of the Playground.”
