REFITG'EEK FOE FJLTHAM. Owing to n. very groat, reluctance on the part of refugees accommodated at the showgrounds in Palmerston North to leave the camp it has not been possible for the authorities to ascertain definitely how many will be sent to Eltham. One hundred have been ordered to be ready for transfer to Eltliam today, but. no information was available up till noon. The Mayor (Mr I. J. Bridget') visited j Palmerston North difring the week-end I and interviewed the camp commandant

(Brigadier White), but was unable to finalise matters. The refugees appear to be well satisfied to remain in camp until they are able to go to tlieir own homes in Napier or Hastings. Complete arrangements have been made at Eltham for their reception on arrival.. Cars have been arranged for transport to the various people, who are accommodating the visitors. REFUGEES REACH PATJEA.

Complete arrangements had been made with a view to control of the work.
