SOLDIERS’ EVENINGS IN CAMP.
There are very few amongst us who will not co-operate with the movement on foot in Wellington and Christchurch to provide gramaphones for the soldiers in camp. A committee was formed, consisting of Brigadier-General Sir A. W. Rubin, Colonel Tate, Hon. A. M. Myers, M.P., Dr. Thacker, M. P., Mr j. P. Luke, Mayor of Wellington (hon. sec.), Mesdames Massey, J. P. Luke, Corrigan, Kilmartin, Tewse, Kersley, Rolleston and Lady Gibhes. At a recent meeting held in the Town Hall, Wellington, it was resolved to communicate with the mayor of each town in New Zealand, requesting them to kindly interest the citizens sufficiently to raise a small donation of £lO 10s towards the fund. The response already to hand is most gratifying, viz., that with pleasure the money will be forthcoming. We would urge all who wish to assist in brightening the evenings of our brave soldiers and many a lonely boy to forward their small donation to the Mayor, or to Mrs Rollestou, hon. sec. to the fund, 156 Lambton Quay, Wellington.
