The latest list, the fifth to be issued by the board, includes a contribution of £1000 from the Reserve Bank o! New Zealand and also contributions from a number of business firms. In addition, there are donations from a number of private citizens whose support in large numbers to enable the board to do the very best possible for New Zealand's sailors, soldiers, and airmen is of the greatest importance. With the wholehearted assistance of the great mass of the people the funds will increase appreciably week by week. The latest list of donations is as follows:—
