IN SIMPLE TERMS
N.Z. PATRIOTIC FUNDS
EXPENDITURE PER MAN
The cost of administration of all Patriotic funds raised and. expended during the first two years of the present war averaged onl\ r 4/5 per £100, or less than one-quarter per cent, or one halfpenny in#the pound. The cost of extra comforts for the sick and wounded this year (1942) for parcels to N.Z. prisoners of war (excluding those taken in the recent campaign) £271,000; and for the upkeep of the four main welfare agents £207,000. In other words for every pound received, unless there is a specific request that it shall be used for a definite purpose 3/4. is spent on the siek and wounded, 5/4 on our prisoners, of war and 4/2 on the work carried out in our camps by the Y.M.C.A., the Salvation Army, the Church Army, and the Catholic War Services Fund Board. The .rest of the pound is also spent on patriotic objects—all save the halfpenny for administration costs.
