“No? I wibvld not say that any one man worked better than another- said Ltc’W© Wise, when asked to comment on the successful erection of the first prefabricated w., ar ehou.se to bo constructed by -Works Service Engineors in Now Caledonia© !e In fact”, he continued, evoryonuo worked exceedingly,well©. Naturae lly, we wore a little strange to the typo of < work as this is the first one we have or cot o d’J From tho clearing of tho site to the comp™, lotion a little over a week was occupied and only approximately twenty thro o' mon on tho job© Watching it in the course cf going up section ’ at a time, it was difficult for the layman to understand how all tho K parts camo to fit toget«” her* Tho 55 blue print with its detailed layout in which were specified tho number of packages in which tho sections were shipped? tho total weight of the material and the superficial number of feet involved gave the impression of a- huge cross word puzzle coming to life f and ovoryono on tho job appeardd to bo taking a keen interest in guessing how it would work out©

Work out it did, and well done too? as tho 108 x , complete with doors, windows and hurries# stays stands in sharp contrast to the Naiouli trees hitherto tho preserve of mosquitoes, spiders, lizards and onto. What thoy all think of the strange looking building wo would need a Walt Disney to displace Ho would probably show us a confab taking place© The Bull Frogs hopping across the clearing? mosejquitous in their’hor ants talcing up their positions? not altogether sure of their social standing? while the spiders looked down upon tho gathering with a superior air© Bats too, probably hover in tho trees © Does the mooting start with complaints ? Stories of hardships, how ants wore unceremoniously tossed out of their age lung home? spider wobs torn from trees and bats driven to tent tops© Throats of reprisals plans, for attacks on those strange b a rb n rians from over seas© A. few wily spiders.thinking only of themselves look at tho fat mosquitoas. and think of good meals© Maybe some such mooting did take place? It is noodlußS to remark that such buildings as’ tho L<;(.rohouse give us some idea of the. typo, of work we shall bo engaged in, and from that wo can realise that such' buildings aro going to moan a good deal to such places as BOD and other Base Units for purposes of storage, otc u Ac the work of construction proceeds the place of Works Service Engineers will become clearly defined and vscognisod as an essential service© EDITOR
