EX-SOLDIERS' INTERESTS
THE PATRIOTIC FUNDS POOLING NOT FAVOURED [BY TELEGRAPH PRESS ASSOCIATION^ WELLINGTON, Thursday Suggestions that the Government should be asked to pool all patriotic funds collected during the Great War came before the conference of the New Zealand Returned Soldiers' Association, but received a mixed reception. A majority of the delegates declared in favour of the local societies remaining. A motion of appreciation of the work dono by the various societies was carried.
The widening of the scope of the Trentliam Scholarship scheme was urged. A motion was carried asking for the inclusion of children born up to July 1, 1921, instead of July 1, 1920, as at present. It was agreed that tho Minister of Education be asked to reinstate in approved eases tho privilege previously given to returned soldiers of receiving vocational training at technical schools. Tho conference decided to ask the Government to make full use of tho home established in Auckland for war veterans, it being regarded as a national institution.
