In the Prisons’ Department’s stand iu the New Zealand Government pavilion is a working model of the brickworks at Trcntham. it is a. wonderiul contrivance, and the moment it is set in motion crowds gather, and watch fascinated as the prisoners hurry by with their little hand carts, and two men wield tireless pickaxes at a clay hillside. As the clay falls away from their blows, others wheel the material away to the works. It is an accurate reproduction, com- 1 plete with engine rooms, drying sheds, and a kiln holding 140.000 bricks. The output is 15,.000 per day.
