PHYSICAL TRAINING Opportunity To Get Fit
"There is a splendid opening under the scheme for men to improve their physical fitness,” said the Minister of Internal Affairs, Mr. Parry, when referring yesterday to the training to be given to men of the Home Guard by instructors of the Physical Welfare Branch of the Department of Internal Affairs.
“With tlie introduction of this training, which is devised by experts in physical culture to suit advantageously all" men who join up,” said Mr. Parry, “there should not, as the work develops, be an unfit man in the Home Guard. Once a man whose condition by reason of occupation or other cause has beeu weakened feels again the joy of fitness he will strive to maintain that fitness.”
