NEW CENTRE
AIR FORCE TESTS MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS NOW HELD IN HAMILTON For the first time medical examinations of Waikato candidates for the air crews of the Royal New Zealand Air Force have been conducted in Hamilton. The first of these examinations were conducted on Monday, and in future all applicants from the Waikato, King Country and Bay of Plenty districts who seek entry into the air crews of the force will be medically examined in Hamilton. During the first four days under the new scheme 45 candidates have been examined in Hamilton. The air crew selection committee of the Royal New Zealand Air Force, when in Hamilton this week, interviewed about 140 Waikato candidates. Nearly all were accepted and they will be medically examined in the course of the next three weeks. In addition large numbers of men will come from the King Country as a result of the visit to Te Kuiti and Ohakune next week of the selection committtee. Those men will be examined in Hamilton, as will the candidates from the Rotorua, Whakatane and Opotiki centres representing the Bay of Plenty. Previously candidates from all these territories were medically examined in Auckland. The Hamilton medical board is in charge of Dr. F. D. Pinfold, with whom are associated Dr. Duncan Macdiarmid and Dr. R. G. Phillips-Turner.
