New Zealand's First Refugees: Pahiatua's Polish Children
Pigs
Pigs
The swill from the kitchen is at present sold to a nearby farmer and this immediately raised the query in our minds as to whether the camp could not maintain a pig run of its own and divert the kitchen swill to it. We would also recommend in this case that a report from the Department of Agriculture be obtained. It is understood, however, that this question was investigated some time ago but was rejected because it would not be possible to locate the pig run sufficiently far enough away from the camp itself to avoid the smell.
