On Our Job, Issue 7, 1 March 1944, Page 1

HULLO, FELLOWS! Well, here we are again. We have had quite a fair response in the way of correspondence from you, but still have not heard from quite a number; so what about dropping us a line as soon as you have read this, telling us something about yourselves. Well, what do you think of our new heading which came out in the last issue? We thought it would remind you of us all as soon as you saw Fiducia on the front page. No doubt you will all be showing other trammies from other centres the type of modern tram we trammies in Wellington have, and in our opinion ahead of any in New Zealand. The Comforts Committee are up to their eyes in work. We have our annual general meeting in a week or so, and our next issue will tell you all about it, how it is run, who finds the finance, who does the work, and various other things you will no doubt be surprised to find out about us. Well, look out for your next issue of “On Our Job.” In our last editorial we omitted to mention that all-important question of parcels. In January the committee created a new record for parcels sent away, 105 being sent to you boys that month. These consisted of a parcel of chocolate to every man away and a cake parcel to the boys in the Islands. February saw another 71 parcels dispatched, tobacco to the boys in the East and again cake parcels to the Islands. Each time we arrange a batch of cake . parcels there are usually a few more sewn up than the number .required for the boys in the Pacific, and during the last two months each boy in the Middle East has also had, at some time, a cake parcel sent to him as well. As we said earlier, in our next issue we will be giving you some figures and details of all that has been sent away

in the last twelve months so that then you will be able to check on parcels you have received.
