Combined Returned Services (Waikato District ) Memorial Building Fund AN OPEN LETTER TO MR AND MRS WAIKATO! Dear Mrs and Mrs Waikato:— Now that the Victory we have been waiting for is approaching, and peace and happiness will be with us in the very near future, let us all join together and offer heartfelt thanks and gratitude to our gallant servicemen, that we the FREE people of this war-tom world, who have had so much, while other countries have had so little, can and will show appreciation to our gallant fighting men and women. Most of us who have suffered and sacrificed with our boys, sons, daughters and husbands overseas, look forward with joyous anticipation to their speedy return. They who have done so much to help this glorious Victory, we know, will soon be with us, and in gratitude let us unite and REPAY, by giving a tribute that will last for all time. A tribute that will help them in their civil and peace time life to come. A tribute that will help them to forget the horrors and suffering of the past five years of this dreadful war. A tribute to help them back to normal cultural life— A Memorial Club situated in the heart of Hamilton (Garden Place.) A Memorial Building that the Waikato District can be proud Our Servicemen will appreciate the Memorial Social Hall, Recreation Rooms, Library, Cafeteria, and Information Bureau to help them to solve their problems—with rehabilitation, pensions, etc., and a theatre to foster a culture centre. This Memorial Building will be self-sup-porting with its modern shopping block. A building that will be an asset to Hamilton. Wellington, Auckland, Dunedin, Christchurch, Palmerston North and Timaru are paying similar tributes and there is not one right thinking Citizen able to criticise or deny our gallant men and women to have their own Memorial Club Buildmg. Not so long ago hostile powers were near our shores. Two years ago we depended on these men and women to protect us—Free Democratic People—are we going to deny them this Memorial Building? Can we think of a more PATRIOTIC gesture? In our hearts we know just how much we owe these gallant servicemen. This Memorial Club Building will be a lasting tribute and a store of gratitude and appreciation. Now! Mr and Mrs Waikato: It’s up to you, let your motto be: I WILL REPAY. Send your donation now. We are yours, _ I Sincerely, The Combined R.S. Memorial Club Building Fund Committee. Room 8, Regent Building, Hamilton. This appeal is sponsored by the Management Committee: T. C. Galloway (chairman), E. ClaytonGreen (Hon. Secretary), D. D. Wilson, A. Wheeler, A. Naim, Arnold Smith (Hon. Treasurer), Eddie Martin (Campaign Organiser).

The National Mutual Life Association of Australasia Ltd. Established 1869. PURELY MUTUAL —NO SHAREHOLDERS As we planned for war, we must also plan for peace, remembering that peace and war are opposites. Most of the things we have done for war will need undoing for peace, and we must be sure that when the war is over the freedom for which we have fought is duly restored to us, and in full measure. Our institution of Life Assurance was and is founded upon freedom, the rights of property, the sanctity of contract, and, above all, on a full measure of confidence and faith in the individual. Many people are puzzled by the problems of spending and saving in wartime the small saver, in particular finding the arguments difficult to apply to his own circumstances. Life Assurance institutions are able to provide the perfect solution. The truth can be stated in very simple terms. First of all, refrain so far as you can from the purchase of anything which involves an import from abroad, or which absorbs labour wanted by the Government for the purpose of the war; then carry on with your normal purchases of other things to keep the trade of the country going, exercising a little more than your usual economy. If your income remains stationary or improves, you will, in this war, find yourself with a surplus, which IF APPLIED TO LIFE ASSURANCE, WILL ENABLE THE LIFE OFFICES TO GIVE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT TO WAR LOANS and provide you with the best of all investments.
