SOLDIERS' PARCELS
"TLKX UP AT RIGHT TIME" INVERCARGILL, Tuesday. "1 do not think that the patriotic workers need have any fear about the maldistribution of parcels in Egypt," said Lieutenant-Colonel J. R. Page, D.5.0., in an address at a meeting of patriotic fund workers held in Invercargill. Colonel Page said he could not be dogmatic about the situation. He knew that the men had received parcels, but he did not know how many had been sent from New Zealand. He did know, however, that the parcels had a habit of turning up at the right time. Dealing with the contents of parcels, Colonel Page said that tins of oysters were greatly appreciated. He did not tlttnK It was so necessary to send tins of cream or tins of fruit
If he were getting a parcel what he would like to receive would be a tin of oysters, a tin of coffee and milk, cheese, biscuits, a bit of soap, and a packet of razor blades.
