GIFT FROM NEW YORK
PATRIOTIC FUND BENEFITS (P.A.) WELLINGTON, this day. As a result of the Anzac Dav dinner in New York, at which the New Zealand Minister in Washington, Mr. Nash, was present, the New Zealand patriotic fund is to benefit by 5000 dollars. Tie money, according to a decision of the board's standing committee, is to be used to purchase writing material and paper to be forwarded to New Zealand for distribution by the board. The board has decided to purchase a mobile talking picture unit to service outlying troops and also to purchase 50 battery operated radio seta for these troops. The library service report shows to date that 152.135 books and 163.513 periodicals have been issued to the navy, army and air force.
