Spence, of Parnell, Auckland, whose husband is the Presbyterian chaplain now with the New Zealand forces in Egypt'. Mrs. Spence is living in Maadi, and writes that she has been arranging to take 12 New Zealand soldiers at a time to tea in Cairo, and is thus getting to know them. “Socks seems to be their greatest need so far as handwork is concerned,’’ Mrs. Spence says. “The last parcels got in duty free, which makes it worth while sending almost anything to eat, as well as cigarettes and magazines.” To those who want to knit for the soldiers, Mrs. Spence advises the knitting of socks, and says that with the summer coming on the men cannot have too many.
