Britons Still Badly Need Food Parcels
Press Association )
(Per
AUCKLAND, Nov. 6. Profound disappointment and sorrow at the fact that fewer Christmas food parcels were being sent to Britain from Auckland this year was expressed by, the Mayor (Mr J. A. C. Allum) on Saturday. He had just returned with Mrs Allum after six months in the United Kingdom, and said the food position there would be more thoroughly appreeiated when it was realised that the people were better off during the war than they were at present. "It is almost useless just talking about it," said Mr Allum. "If New Zealanders could only go there even for a month they would want to send every bit of food they had to Britain. Two things amazed me. The first was the gratitude of the people to whom we gave the food parcels. The second svas the varied types of people who were gltfd to get food. They range from poor to very prominent persons.
