AIR FORCE RELATIONS
WORK MUST GO ON
"There are still thousands of our airmen serving overseas, and in addition, large numbers of liberated prisoners of war, and we wish to back these men to the fullest extent possible," said Mrs. Lan Horton, president of the Auckland branch of the Air Force Relations, at the annual meeting held yesterday, when she made an appeal for knitters to continue their work. The report indicated that 22981b of wool had been distributed and 7899 knitted garments received. Hussifs totalling 2635 had been made by the sewing circle, who received assistance from the Victoria League and Parnell Sewing Circle. Members of the Air Force Relations on stations continued to assist in knitting, sewing, mending and canteen work. A new section of work was being started, the visiting of sick airmen in hospital, and this is organised by Mrs. Keith Caldwell. v Contact was being made with all servicemen's wives overseas who will be residing in Auckland and it was hoped to interest them in the work. The sum of £796 was paid into the National Patriotic Fund.
