Gone—No Address
Much is said about the food for Britain campaign, and many questions have been raised about the distribution of parcels. But the experience 6f a Paterangi lady will surely occasion surprise. From a list of names she had recorded during the war years she deemed it her patriotic duty to aid the food parcels scheme and somewhat dutifully made a regular pilgrimage to the post office with a parcel for dispatch. But the other- day her direction was reversed, sb to speak. Sent for by the post office, she Went this time empty handed, and! actually received a parcel after paying the dues, four shillings, for return journey postage. It was a parcel she had dispatched months ago to England an dit now bore the official “not wanted” statement “gone—no address.”
