CANCELLATION OF PERMITS.

Owing to the cessation of hostilities and the early return of the New Zealand Forces, the necessity of raising further money for certain War Funds no longer exists. In pursuance of iection 33, subsection (6), of the War Legislation Act, 1918, all existing permits to raise money on" behalf of the Societies controlling the following War Funds are her«by revoked and cancelled : — Blue Cross Fund Catholic Federation Field Service Fund Chaplains and Nurses Fund Church of England Military Affairs : Committee Equipment Gifts and Parcels for '■■: Soldiers and Sailors Methodist Church Military Camps Committee Mine Sweepers Navy League Ladies Auxiliary Presbyterian Church Chaplains and Camp Funds .—c Prisoners of War Fund Red Cross Fund ■ Sewing and Knitting Guilds Salvation Army War Fund A Trench Comforts Fund Tobacco Funds for Overseas Women's National Reserve Fund ■■- V.M.C.A. War Fund. Should the Executive of any of the > :; above funds desire to make a special " ,■ appeal for a particular purpose, full : consideration will be given on application made. All permits for patriotic shops are. hereby revoked and cancelled, unless specially approved for the augmentation of funds controlled by patriotic societies empowered to grant relief and assistance to soldiers and dependants. Generally the issue of further permits ehould be restricted to the raising of funds to be expended by incorporated * societies and those administering funds for the direct benefit of soldiers and dependants. As this arrangement will tend to materially decrease the number of permits, the monthly returns of permits issued hitherto supplied to the War Funds Office by Mayors, Chairmen "of local bodies, and other persons authorised ~''^ may be discontinued. In the absence of J| a return it will be assumed that rio^ permits whatever have been issued but • it is desirable in order to supervise collections that notification should be given in every cases where permits are 3 granted. Where any doubt exists as to whether a particular permit should be issued, a collect telegram to the Department will receive prompt attention.
