Yeast Goes By Plane
(P.A.i WELLINGTON. This Day. A practical example of wartime cooperation applied to civilian use was given last week when Wairoa was completely isolated by both road and rail from Napier and Gisborne. Word was received early in the afternoon by the Rationing Control that Wairoa was out of veasl for bread-making and unless supplies could be got through, no bread would be baked. Immediate contact was made with the Air Department which co-operated in arranging air transport. As there is no landing ground at Wairoa, the yeast had to be packed in special containers which could be dropped -from the air. The yeast was made up into three packages and delivered at an airport for immediate despatch from Auckland. Within an hour of receipt of the original message, the yeast was on its way to Wairoa by plane.
