NECKLACE FOR MRS ROOSEVELT
* DISABLED SERVICEMEN’S GIFTS
TO BE PRESENTED BY MR NASH (P.A.) WELLINGTON, May 6. Two New Zealand gifts—a necklace for Mrs Eleanor Roosevelt, the President’s wife, and a trophy in the form of a cup for the Disabled Veterans’ Association of America—were to-day handed to the Hon. W. Nash, New Zealand Minister to the United States, for presentation to the recipients on his return to America.
The necklace is from the New Zealand Disabled Servicemen’s Re-estab-lishment League, and the trophy from the Wellington branch of that organisation. Both are of paua shell and New Zealand-mined silver, with a base for the trophy and a box for the necklace from totara knot timber. The suggestion was made that the trophy should be for competition in some national sport in America, and the proceeds from such events devoted to the welfare of that country’s disabled servicemen.
