CATHOLIC HUT.
FACILITIES AT PAPAKURA. MANY IMPROVEMENTS MADE. Marking an outstanding improvement in the facilities available, extensions to the Roman Catholic recreation hut at Papakura Camp are nearing completion and the hut was officially opened on Sunday, August 18. The cost of the building and furnishings is in the vicinity of £2OOO. In place of the former temporary accommodation, a permanent chapel has been erected, together with accommodation for the chaplain. There is a buffet for the serving of light meals, a well-appointed recreation room, and a quiet room for reading and writing. A permanent official will be in charge of the hut. J ' The appointments of the hut will include a small billiards table, library and periodicals. Groups of entertainers will go to the camp during the week, and on Sundays a committee of ladies will take charge of the buffet. The hut was officially opened by Bishop Liston at 3 p.m. The speakers at the ceremony, which was a brief one, included the chaplain, Father Henley and the chairman of the committee, Mr. J. P. O’Connor.
