EMPIRE ORPHAN FUND
A correspondent (Mrs. Emily M. Ciewe, of "Tho Grange," Pahiatue) suggests that an effort should be made to provide some measure of assistance for the possible hundreds of orphans throughout the Empire who might be left in need of help as the result of the war, and that a fund' might be raised by tlie public and private school children of the whole Dominion, giving one penny each. The young folk, she says,would no doubt gladly forgo some little pleasure to give the penny suggested to sudh a commendable object, and if the fund was made general throughout New Zealand a very substantial sum would be assured for relieving the distress and sufferings of the orphans left by defenders of the Empire. The special object would be to make it an Empire scheme, giving tho children throughout the Empire-an opportunity to sui>scribe to the 'distress resulting from the war. One day might be fixed throughout the' Dominion for the collection of the pennies'to be made. ; ■•..-"'■ - :
