SOCKS FOR TROOPS
WOOL SHORTAGE NO BULK SUPPLIES (Per Press Association.) , AUCKLAND, this day. The difficulty of securing sufficient supplies of knitting wool is likely to interfere with the making of socks foi members of the New Zealand armed forces. It was originally intended that the wool should be purchased in bulk and distributed to the various committees, but it is now announced that, owing to the shortage of supplies, it has been found impossible to purchase wool on a bulk basis and the various committees have been advised to obtain whatever supplies may be available locally.
Already £2OO has been spent in Auckland in buying knitting wool and an endeavour is being made to obtain further supplies.
