MELANESIAN TUCK BOXES
. "The Post'? has been asked to publish the following appeal:— "For many years it lias been the custom o£ New Zealanders to send, per the Southern Cross, a tuck box to every, white worker in the Melanesian Mission. Although we are no longer to be directly connected by means of the mission ship, wo are most anxious to continue this annual gift, which has been so greatly appreciated in the past. Most people have a fairly good idea..of the hardships and loneliness of this particular mission, and in. addition this year the disappointment .and deprivation due to the loss of the new Southern Cross. , . .
' "The tuck boxes contain medical comforts and groceries, and a.few home delicacies specially prepared and packed to withstand the tricks of climate. As the boxes should be. packed for dispatch by April 20, friends of the Melanesian Mission are invited to send subscriptions as soon as possible, and I can assure them that such money will •be judiciously expended for a grateful body of men and women. ■ ■ '•
"Subscriptions may be sent to either Dr. Nell I. Hotighton, hon. secretary, St. Mark's Vicarage, Eemuera, Auckland, or to Mrs. Watson, earo Anglican Board of Missions, 49 Ballance Street, Wellington."
Ramsey Wilson and Co, will sell superior furniture, pianos, and household goods at 1.30 p.m. tomorrow at their auction mart, 98 Manners Street.
