BELGIAN FUND.
(TO THE EDITOR.) Dear Sir, —May we once again bring to the notice of your readers the needs of the Belgian Refugee Food Fund. Our New Zealand Branch has since the beginning of the war sent to the Headquarters in London the following Cash and provisions : 1521 carcases of mutton. 10566 lbs of beef. 11200 lbs of jam. 141 boxes of butter 118 crates of cheese and £9OO cash, including £3OO for the Babys Milk Fund. We have also undertaken to supply 200 sheep per month and as our funds aie running low we reluctantly make another appeal to the public to enable us to keep up our meat supply. We are instrumental in helping to feed some thousands of destitute Belgians and wish if possible to keep up our supplies until the end of the war. We shall be pleased to receive donations (however small) which can be paid to any Branch of the Bank of Australasia or they can be sent to the Hon. Secretary, Box 54, Masterton. Yours faithfully, E. CARLETON HOLMES, Chairman.
