Impressed By Islanders
CN.Z. Press Association* AUCKLAND, Sept. 11. Thirty Cook Islanders and three Tokelauans who have been in the New Zealand Army only a few months drilled like veterans when they passed out of their basic training course at Papakura camp on Friday. “The turn-out was quite impressive,” said the camp commander, Lieutenant-Colo-nel H. S. Cocks. Mr H. M. Henry, son of the Cook Islands Prime Minister (Mr Albert Henry), said: “They looked just as good as the Queen’s Guards.”
