WAIOURU MILITARY CAMP
Plans For Winter
COMFORT OF TROOPS CONSIDERED
Rumours that no more men were to be sent to Waiouru military camp this winter were denied yesterday by the Minister of Defence, Mr. Jones.
“We have a fine camp at Waiouru, with modern amenities that make it equal to, or perhaps even better than, the camps at Papakura, Trentham and Burnham,” he said. “Naturally, therefore, we wish' to make full use of Waiouru. We intend to send there the number of men that the camp will accommodate comfortably. That means, of course, that we will take into consideration the fact that the weather may be fairly cold. We are confident that, with the comfortable housing, good food and recreational amenities that are provided at Waiouru the men will have no complaint, and will be at least as well off as at Foxton, Palmerston North, Dannevirke or Wanganui, where the camps are really only improvised.”
