WOOLLEN COMFORTS
FOR SERS IC EMEN IN N.Z. (P.A.) Wellington, May 13. Woollen comforts lor winter are to be made available Lor all servicemen in New Zealand camps and stations. To enable this to be done Provincial Patriotic Councils are drawing on stocks from the National Patriotic Fund Board goods store in Wellington to supplement any local supplies thej have available. Already irom the Board's stocks, which have been built up by Provincial Councils through zone committtees, a big requisition for a North Island camp has been met. This comprised 4508 pairs of mittens, a similar number of balaclavas and just over 5000 scarves. Other large cruets have also received attention during the past lew days. Up till now a greater proportion of woollen iomlorts, made bjk women of New Zeahad beef shipped for use with the .xew Zealand forces overseas. Supplies are still being forwarded to Great I Britain, in particular, but sufficient stocks have been built up in the Middle East to justify the discontinuance at the present time of further dispatches to that quarter.
