Mr Wilson desires to thank those friends who have sent in parcels for lonely soldiers, and any each will be received again this week. / These goods are all sent through the Overseas Club, and the Women's Dune* din branch of the Club are holding a "Street Day" next Friday, and are making an appeal to their country friends to assist them with donations of flowers, and Mr Wilson asks us to mention that he would be glad to receive any such gifts not later than Thursday next up to 5 p.m., so as to forward to Dunedin by the evening train, as a token of appreciation from Milton.
