RECREATION HUT
Opened At Trentham I On 31st January the recreation hut which has been erected for the Salvation Army at Trentham Military Camp was opened officially by the mayor, Mr. Hislop, who is chairman of the Wellington Patriotic'Council. The hut has been built from money provided by the National Patriotic Fund Board and is for the benefit of all troops who undergo their training at Trentham. The board has made available funds for the erection of two big recreation 'huts at each of the three main camps in the Dominion, for use by the Y.AI. C.A. and Salvation Army respectively. The Y.M.C.A. hut at Trentham is already in use, but is not yet finished. The Salvation Army hut at the camp is the first in the Dominion to be completed, but another, at Burnham Camp, will be ready shortly. In addition to the huts at the main camps, the National Patriotic Fund Board has provided funds from the public subscriptions it has received for the building of smaller recreation huts at coastal defence stations.
