N many a> hundred letters from the Front to Mother this phrase has occurred. And in many cases, alas, the father will never see those Kiddies again, whilst in others he returns maimed or broken in health. It was in YOUR service, too—for your freedom and .he safety of your home and your loved ones. So what of "the Kiddies and their schooling" now? You can help them by taking all the tickets you can afford in the Trentham Dominion Scholarships UNION —to provide Scholarships for the Children of New Zealand's Soldiers and Sailors. This is the first serious effort to meet one of the most important After-War Problems. These children surely deserve as good educational opportunities as their fathers could have given them—do your part to help—do it willingly and generously. Think of your own bright-eyed youngsters and the " start" you are going to give them —then think of these others whose fathers paid the price so that your little ones might be safe. It seems to be "up to you," doesn't it ? Dip down into your pocket and buy as many tickets as you can —send in the coupon now. You may win the £ 1000 prize—and there are 170 others besides.
