HANDY BOOKLET
FOR USE OF SOLDIERS’ NEXT-OF-KIN WELLINGTON, July 30. It is expected that by the end of this week the first supplies will be delivered from the primers of the handy - size booklet the National Patriotic Fund Board has compiled for the use of i\?xt-of-kin of the members of New Zealand’s lighting services. Copies are to be distributed by the provincial patriotic councils and it is hoped that they will be in a position to make them available at the beginning of next week. The booklet was reviewed recently. It contains a great deal of information that will be helpful to relatives and friends of the men from this country serving overseas. Among the subjects dealt with in the booklet are parcels, what they should contain, and how they should be sent; postage and cable rates; rates of pay for the naval and military forces, and also dependants’ allowances; knitting hints and patterns; and also a number of cooking recipes.
