This edition of the National Film Unit’s newsreel series features three stories. First, 2,000 people gather to witness the opening of Palmerston North’s new railway station, complete with modern signals, advanced communication systems, and a state-of-the-art cafeteria. In Wellington, a fashion show — attended by Prime Minister Keith Holyoake — showcases on trend New Zealand styles to visiting Australian clothing suppliers. Finally, the Osbourn family, with toddler in tow, criss-crosses the country in a caravan with their road-marking business, while Mum still manages to keep on top of the housework.
