FOOD DRIVE ORGANISED

GIRL GUIDES' ASSOCIATION The Girl Guides in the Auckland district will conduct a food drive on Wednesday next. Extensive preparations have been made during the last three weeks in tho hope that the great success of last year's drive, when 30,000 books and magazines were collected, will be repeated. Each district has been organised by its commissioner, and <vmmitteo members and commissioners will be in chargo of depots in the suburbs. Tho city depot, which will be in Grey's Avenue, opposite the Town Hall, will be in charge of Mrs. E. McNair, a member of the Auckland executive committee, and will bo open both day and evening.

The drive in the city area will include the Point Chevalier, Ponsonby, Epsom, Bemuera and Parncll districts, and in the suburbs collections will be made in Mount Eden, Mount Albert, Onehunga, Newmarket, Birkenhead, Northcote, Ellerslie and Manurewa. The drive this year will bo confined to food —groceries, produco, jams and anything edible —but it is riot intended to collect 1 clothes, owing to the many clothes drives that have been held recently. It is requested that parcols should be ready as early as possible, as some guides intend to start at eight o'clock. All guides will bo in uniform. The goods will be distributed by the locai welfare organisations in the boroughs in which they wore collected, and in the city by the Social Workers' Association.
