FORCES IN EGYPT
CHEAP-RATE CABLES BOTH 7 WAYS
For some time a cheap-rate cablegram service ha*s been in operation from New Zealand to the New Zealand armed forces in Egypt. Recently the secretary of the National Patriotic Fund Board, Mr. G. A. Hayden, wrote to the Director of the Post and Telegraph Department (Mr. J. G. Young), at the suggestion of the Auckland Pro-' vincial Patriotic Council, s inquiring if it would be possible to make available the concession rate for cables from members of the New Zealand forces in that war theatre. Mr. Young has now advised that representations which the Department had been making in this connection since it was first known New Zealand troops were stationed in Egypt have been successful and that the special cheap-rate service for messages from members of the armed forces in Egypt was introduced on January 27.
