 Synopsis

Features include: a camp being built by Lake Karapiro for rowers in the Empire Games; a garden party at St Mary's Home for Children; a community play area in Naenae where the sport of "paddle tennis" is featured. Students of Wellington's Architectural Centre build a pine and glass-walled modernist house in Karori, that includes bunks and a utility room, "where children can play and Mother can sew". Perhaps most exciting is the demolition by army engineers of Murphy's Brickyard chimney in Berhampore, with children swarming over the fresh rubble.
