“LEST WE, FORGET”
CLAIMS OF EX-SERVICEMEN. A CALL TO WHANGAREI CITIZENS. Mr A. A. Marker, secretary and employment officer of the Soldiers’ Civil Establishment League, arrived in Whangarei yesterday, and will remain here for a few days, during which time he will endeavour to interest employers on behalf of disabled ex-service-men. The League is an incorporated body specially constituted by Act of, Parliament for the purpose of assisting disabled men. Control is in the hands of civilian advisory committees composed of representatives of the N.Z.R.S.A:, the* War Funds Council, the Red Cross, the South African Veterans Association, and the New Zealand j Manufacturers’ Association. ! Mr Marker will be glad to meet any-, one who could give some assistance in the matter of employment to disabled men and may be found c/o. Mr G. Bethell, secretary, Empire Ex-Ser-vicemen’s Association. . The claims of those who served in the war and are today suffering from the strain they underwent are such as deserve the most sympathetic at- | I tention. } Portrait of the King. A good deal has been heard about the Jubilee portrait of His Majesty King George, painted by Mr J. A. A. Berrie, R.C.A. This was chosen by His Majesty as being his favourite portrait, and he sanctioned its sale as a means of raising funds for ex-servicemen. The War Memorial League of Australia has adopted this scheme, and the New Zealand Ex-Servicemen’s Association has also done so. The portrait is remarkably lifelike and it is not a matter for surprise that schools, local bodies and private individuals have secured handsomely framed copies. Mr Marker has with him a specimen portrait, which has attracted much attention.
