A complaint that she was charged 4s postage on a 91b parcel addressed to a soldier in Egypt and containing a Christmas cake has been made by an Auckland resident, who asks whether there is not some cheaper method of sending gifts to individuals, through the Patriotic Executive or otherwise. Inquiry shows that patriotic organisations throughout the Dominion send away only unaddressed parcels. The first distribution of these was made some time ago. and next Christmas every New Zealand soldier overseas will receive one valued at approximately 10s and including a cake and a Christmas pudding. It is suggested that relatives should remember the existence of this system when they contemplate sending private parcels.
