N.Z. Medicine For Welsh Sufferer
AUCKLAND, October 11
A consignment of medicinal molasses will leave Auckland by air for London this afternoon. By the weekend it should arrive at Barry, Glamorgan, and South Wales. The molasses is being sent by the Air Force Association to prolong the life of an ex-R.A.F. Flying-Officer W. A.R. Bowles, who is in hospital suffering from cancer. Flying Officer Bowles, who is married with a five-months-old son, had served with the New Zealanders in Bomber Command. When the doctors told him that molasses would help him, but was unobtainable in England, he wrote to a New Zealander whom he met during the war. A city merchant released some molasses to-day and the Air Force Association arranged for its immediate dispatch. A customs officer gave a special clearance for the consignment to leave at three o’clock to-day via Canada.
