WOMAN'S WORLD
UNIVERSITY FEDERATION The need for expediting the raising of funds for the 1942 patriotic appeal was stressed by the president of the Auckland branch of the New Zealand Federation of University Women, Mrs. H. J. Coaies, at a meeting of the federation last night. For prisoners of war alone £6OOO a week was required' to provide food, clothing and comforts, she said. This amounted to about £1 a week per man. Anyone who had senrt away food parcels or warm clothies would realise that £1 did not go vdry far. " We have only to think of recfent lists of prisoners of war in the to realise that this amount will Jftave to be increased," Mrs. Coates said. Sho appealed to federation members to, endeavour to raise £IOO toward the Metropolitan Patriotic Committee's quota, and asked members to give to this appeal in proportion to their' means. A general outline of the trend of Russian literature before and after the. Revolution was given at the meeting ini a talk by Professor W. A. Sewell.
