SUITABLE PARTING GIFTS.
"GOOD LUCK TO THE BRAVE."
The men who left Hawera to-day to join the New Zealand reinforcements were each presented by the Mayoress with a parcel containing three strong bags, intended for their mess, guncleaning, and toilet apparatus respectively. The bags were fitted with socks, handkerchiefs, cigarettes, chocolates, and playing cards, etc. To each parcel was tied a label with the following inscription: "Kiaora kite toa! Kanui te aroha ahau ki eakoe!" Freely translated, these sentences mean: "Good luck to the brave; our love for you is very great."
