FOR SONS OF EX-SOLDIERS,

OFFER BY FLOCK HOUSE,

WELLINGTON, January 28. A letter from the Flock House Au-

/ thorities, Palmerston North, 'Stating y. that it was hoped that the sons of iNiew Zealand Soldiers would be admitted to Flock House for training in fanning, wa s read at a meeting of thWar Relief Association, of Wellington, today. A conference of Patriotic Associations is to be held at .Flock House station on 24th February and the War Relief Association was invited to send representatives. '“The trustees have decided,” stated the letter from Flock House “that the draft of hoys which arrived in October, should be the last draft from overseasfor the present, and the dex l cision lias Mt the way clear for the t . ar l y entry of New Zealand boys to '. • fTlock House, provided that ways and d means could be devised to audnge f°i * tb:s. Flock House is a war memorial, and it is much to lie desired that this feature should be retained. Consequently the trustee, hope that, its extension to New Zealand boys may be the sons of ex-Xew Zealand Expeditionary Force men. The Trustees ar© empowered to expend money only on the dependants of seamen, but they are willing to extend the lull benefits of the farm and station, land, stock, -buildings, equipment, staff and organisation to the sons of soldiers, provided that their maintenance be ' . arranged for.”
