RAILWAYS MAGAZINE
FEATURES OF MARCH ISSUE With 60 pictures, including two in full colours, and a wide range of special articles, the March, issue of the New Zealand Railways Magazine maintains its high standard. Ken 'Alexander, with humorous verse, witty prose and droll drawings, does full justice to the title of his article, “ Get Fit or Go Phut." 0. N. Gillespie's article on New Zealand's progress in engineering will be a revelation to many people who have not been in touch with the big developments. “ I have had fascinating days and shocks of almost electric intensity to find the pitch to which our engineering industry has attained,” he remarks. Joyce West, who has achieved a high reputation as a writer of verse and prose, has a charming treatise on lakeland of Taupo. Bruce’s “ Adventures With Bingo,” very brightly written, will please children and their elders. Many mountaineers will be thoroughly interested in John Magurk’s description of ascents of Ruapehu in 1883. Another good survey of the past is in an article on the New Zealand Railways of 1881. Leo Fanning has a light chat on surprises. “ Helen ” has her excellent section for women.
