MUSEUM TRUST FUND
Sir, —Reading this morning's paper the suggestion that a trust fund for the museum should be established' recalled a former correspondent who considered the building of homes more essential. I entirely agree with him. There is a tn.e for everything, and to-day everything is for the centennial and to a certain extent, rightly so. It seems that the time for acquiring a home at a reasonable price has gone. Many former servicemen are still homeless and likely to be. If and when another war loomed on the horizon, the museum project would be g.veh a back seat, and our men sent to camp again, where they would have no worry about a hcuse over their neads, but what about their wives and families? I have in mind a yrung married returned man, unable to procure a home. His grandfather came to New Zealand in 1842 and hi grandmother about 1860. —Yours, etc., * PIONEER’S DAUGHTER. April 21, 1950.
