RED TRIANGLE DAY

ASK THE MAN WHO KNOWS. That's the sure way of getting trustworthy information. There is abundant evidence of line view as to the splendid work tho Y.M.O.A. is doing for our boys in khaki. Here ra an example from a letter received yesterday: Captain Ferguson, of the Otago Regiment writes: "During three years' service with the Now Zealand Expeditionary Force I have hud many opportunities of witnessing the fine work done by the T.M.C.A. in the field, in France, and also in Egypt- and England, and words fail mo to adequately express my great admiration of what the Association is domg for our lade. . . . While in London last October I frequently visited the Shakespeare Kut, and met Mi- Hughes and secretaries. This is a fine institution, and is a boon to the boys when they, are in London on 'leave—-in fact, it is a home far from homo to them; and. I am eure, keeps many of the boys on the straight path." , WE WANT £20,000. Otago can easily provide this sum—as easily as Auckland gave but it will require big, generous gifts from these whose hearts warm to the boys who are venturing their all. "I'M TOO OLD TO FIGHT, BUT, THANK GOD, NOT TOO OLD TO GIVE." Thai's the sentiment that will find an echo in many a heart, and, interpreted in terms of substantial cheques and gifts, will enablo Otago to rake her share of the cost involved in tho maintenance of the splendid Y.M.L-.A. work among the boyo in khaki.
