EXPANSION OF TRAINING FACILITIES FURTHER BATCH OF RECRUITS / (Special to Daily Times) WELLINGTON, Mar. 22. .

The latest batch of recruits to be posed totals 87 men. and these include only wireless operators and mechanics, and armourers. Although the total volume of young men offering thejr services to the Air Force is very large, necessitating the holding back of the training of some until late in the year, it will no doubt be encouraging to these men to know that such good progress generally is being made. .
