ACTIVE SERVICE TRAINING
DISTRICT CAMPS TO BE HELD (United Press Association) CHRISTCHURCH, October 12. The proposal to concentrate the first section of the special force at the Waiouru tented camp on the slopes of Mount Ruapehu, 16 miles north of Taihape, has been cancelled. District camps for active service training are to be held on sites yet to be selected. “It was originally intended that towards the end of the training period all units would proceed to Waiouru for collective training,” said Colonel P. H. Bell, Officer Commanding the Southern Command, today. “It has now been decided that advanced training will be carried out in the districts.”
