BRITAIN’S GRATITUDE
Sir,—l should like to add my few lines to what has appeared about Britain. I received a Daily Telegraph from an English writer, and the editorial commented on New Zealand’s gifts to the Homeland. The lady thanked me (too generously) for my small monthly gifts. Last winter I sent a cake forward and through strikes, etc., she received it only in February, and she called me “her big St. Bernard who dug her out of the snow and cold.’ She gave two other people a slice each, as it had come from New Zealand. She said hosts of old people were dead with the cold; 50 per cent of all birds, and a third part of the sheep. Let us each try to send something, however small. I cheerfully give up my meat coupons as well. -A SMALL SENDER”
