Soldiers on Point Duty
Soldiers from Trentham camp were exercised in traffic control at several street junctions in Wellington on the 15th. Attired in their usual khaki uniform, with greatcoats and white sleeves, they, under ’ the direction of the city corporation’s officers, soon dropped into the habit of giving correct signs to traffic. They were, of course, the cynosure of all eyes for a time, which they found rather embarrassing, but. after half an hour's duty, they appeared to be getting along nicely in their new vocation. These .men are being trained in the proper,traffic signals-so that they may he able to take charge of traffic in big camps and garrison towns overseas. With mechanized traffic so largely employed in the Army, traffic control at busy, junctions is highly necessary.
