CIGARETTES FOR TROOPS.
CATERING FOR TASTES. | WELLINGTON, Thursday. After the dispatch of Christmas gift parcels for men of the New Zealand fighting forces overseas under the National Patriotic Fund Board's unaddressed gift parcels scheme, it has been decided by the board to institute a new system of sending tobacco and cigarettes which should assist in ensuring that individual tastes of men will be more nearly met.
The board decided at a meeting to-day to obtain from canteens at the training camps in New Zealand particulars showing the popularity of various brands of tobacco and cigarettes with the men in the camps and then to buy in accordance with the preference shown and send cigarettes and tobacco overseas in bulk. The purchasing will be done by the National Patriotic Fund Board and provincial councils will be asked to provide the necessary funds. The decision was made by the board following a recommendation from the conference of provincial council secretaries. — (Press Assn.)
