FUNDS FOR HOME GUARD
Sir, —-In all due deference to the Mayor of Auckland’s reported statement deprecating the collection of private funds for the equipping of the Home Guard—a statement later modified —permit me, through your columns, as one who attended the “ Awake New Zealand ” meeting in Te Awamutu, to disagree with himIf it has taken the authorities all this time to provide no equipment for the Te Awamutu and district Home Guard, we, as private citizens, are more than justified in trying to help. If our first £l2OO is not enough to enable our local enthusiasts to be armed, then for goodness’ sake let us subscribe another £1,200 —and double that amount if necessary.—l am, etc., NEW ZEALAND FIRST. Te Awamutu.
