Colour of Wool for Soldiers
"The wool being sent to us by the Government to mako garments for soldiers would put Jacob’s coat to shame,” said Miss B. E. Carnachau at a meeting of the Auckland Metropolitan Patriotic Committee. Miss Carnachan produced samples of green, pink and multi-coloured wools which had been received. She pointed out that the correct colours w-ere being supplied for the Navy and the Air Force, while men in the army had to put up with these colours. Miss. E. Melville said pink scarves and mittens would scarcely be suitable for the army. It was decided to make representations to the Government to obtain khaki wool.
