“COMFORTS FOR FIGHTERS”
appeal to churches Prompted by the criticism that church members, as groups, had not so far been given an opportunity of “ doing their bit ” for the “Comforts for Fighters’ ” Fund, the Otago Provincial Patriotic Council has inaugurated a “ Churches and Fighters ” Appeal, which will afford an opportunity for direct giving. It is suggested that churches of all denominations could augment the “ Comforts for Fighters Fund, which closes at the end of the present month, by sales of work, “ bring-and-buy ” fairs, jumble sales, whist drives, retiring collections, and other methods.
