BOOKS GIVEN
To Be Raffled For Patriotic Fund
Would a number of volumes of Bruce Bairnsfather’s cartoons she had in her possession be of any use to assist the patriotic funds? asked a widow from Johnsonville, who called at the National Patriotic Fund Board office in Wellington yesterday. When told that these works would be very acceptable her initial diffidence gave way to satisfaction that the books should be turned to a good purpose.
Her gift comprises Bairnsfatber s ‘‘Fragments From France” in seven volumes covering the whole of the Great War, one bound volume of “Mud to Mufti,” and one bound volume of “Bullets to Billets,” the latter two works covering the periods of rehabilitation after the war.
The donor’s husband served in the last war, and she has two sons-in-law with the forces in the present war. She has agreed to let the books be raffled for the banks’ princess in the Wellington Victory Queen Carnival.
