FORESTRY UNIT
ARRIVAL IIS! WELLINGTON
Wellington members of the New Zealand Forestry Unit and members whose homes are in the South Island arrived by special train from Auckland this morning. Relatives were on hand at the station to meet the local men. Those men for the South Island will travel south tonight, and Nelson personnel will leave for Picton this afternoon, and will be taken to Nelson in cars. Arrangements were made by the Automobile Association, by telephone call to Auckland, for a sufficient number of cars to be on call this morning to take Wellington men to their homes and South Island men for a run round the city; a City Council bus also waited at the station after breakfast. Perhaps it was the weather—walking weath#r—but only three men used the car transport home and three more went sight-seeing, in a car, not in the bus. This afternoon more cars were available to all the men of the unit who wanted to. go riding.
