GIRL GUIDES
HELP FOR FINLAND
New Zealand Guides are joining together in a scheme of national service to supply clothing and knitted garments to their fellow Guides in Finland.
The Dominion headquarters of the New Zealand Girl Guides' Association has donated £100 for the purchase of material, some of which will be cut out by members of the Dominion executive, and distributed round the provinces for making up. These patterns, which will be supplied free, include clothing for children from birth to Guide age.
It is not intended in any way to check provinces, districts, or companies from doing all they can to collect material and wool for making, but for a beginning the scheme is designed to help busy Guiders and Guides to produce reasonably well made, suitable, and serviceable articles.
It is proposed to dispatch the first consignment as soon as possible after May .I. and each province is to arrange a central depot, where goods can be checked and sorted out to await the final packing.
