EVACUEES' ESCORT.
APPRECIATION OF WORK. WELLINGTON, Monday. Before her departure for England, Miss Jean Johnson, chief escort to New Zealand of the 89 -boys and girls from Scotland who came to the Dominion under the Children's Overseas Reception Scheme, spoke highly of the help and kindness extended to her by the people of Wellington and officials of Government Departments with whom her work had brought her in contact.
The Minister of Internal Affairs, the Hon. W. E. Parry, said to-day that a high impression was formed of Mies Johnson's qualifications and work. She had been very helpful in consultations concerning the settlement of British children in New Zealand.—(Press Assn.)
