RED CROSS PARCELS
FINANCED FROM PATRIOTIC CONFUSION STILL EXISTS
Concern was expressed at the Borough Men's Patriotic Committee last Tuesday evening at the fact that many people, still failed to realise that the Patriotic Fund financed, and always had financed the steady stream of Red Cross parcels which went overseas, and were so warmly appreciated by our men.
Mentioning the subject Mr B. S. Barry said that collectors for the Patriotic. Fund this year would be sure to encounter people who- would use the same old arguments regarding the parcels which they imagined were financed from other sources. If they 'could be made to understand the true position they would give much more readily.
On Mr Buddie's suggestion it was decided to embody in the circular going out to the householders in the
near future, an explanatory paragraph on the subject showing that the Red Cross organisation which was doing a wonderful work, was actually only the distributing agency for the parcels all of which had to be financed from the Patriotic Fund in the first instance,.
