N.Z. TIMBER INDUSTRY
First National Exhibition Heavy sawmilling and logging equipment has been shipped from 10 countries for New Zealand’s first National Timber Industry Exhibition at Rotorua this week. Yet the organiser, Mr A. R. Rowe, says he did not aim for the international spotlight. “It began as a small exhibition to help celebrate 50 years of the Forest Service, but before I knew it I was getting inquiries from all over the world,” he said. The countries taking part are Britain, the United States, Canada, Japan, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands and Czechoslovakia. For every imported machine a New Zealand-made equivalent will be on show. Equipment will include logging and crawler tractors, bulldozers, chainsaws, log skidders, cranes and sawmilling machinery. Mr Rowe said that the exhibition would probably establish itself as a triennial event.
