WOMEN BUILD HOCKEY PAVILION
Members of the North Shore Women's Hockey Club have built*their own pavilion at Stanley Bay Park, Devonport. They took six days to finish the job, and were helped in the difficult phases of .construction by skilled carpenters, says the “New Zealand Herald." The girls painted, hammered, sawed, cleared the area, put up a flagstaff, dug the foundations, and even started to dig the drains. The Devonport Borough Council was so impressed that the Mayor, Mr C. F. Woodall, “passed the hat* around" and he and the councillors presented the girls with cutlery and crockery for the pavilion kitchen. The Mayor will open the pavilion today, when the executive of the Auckland Women's Hockey Association will be present. ~~
