NATIONAL SERVICE LEAGUE.

To the Editor. Sir.—We are wanting every man and woman in New Zealand that cannot answer the Empire's call to do their bit at home to prepare the way for returned soldiers, so that directly* they take off their uniforms they will have many friends on the look'out to give them a kind word, do them a kind action, or help them to find work. • How many of your readers will send us their promise to do so for four years? We want 100,000 by February 1, on whkh date we open our permanent office at Palmcrston North. We shall appreciate a few gifts of trophies of war to place in our reception room. Also, will colleges a iid schools present us. with framed photos of any of their "old boys" who have distinguished themselves'in the present or past wars .of the British Empire? These we will hang'in a place of honor in our, building. Manufacturers of New Zealand goods—we shall be pleased to exhibit a few special samples, not too bulky, in our reception room! Framed cards describing same should be sent, also attractive framed showeards of New Zealand manufactured goods will be placed on the walls. Will anyone present us with 1013 directories? 'Our motto is "Fighting men first; preference for Xew Zealand and Empire goods." Who is going to be the party to hold back from helping us? Not your readers. Men out of uniform, 'that have answered the Empire's call, let's hear from you—we are out to help voiir mates when they return, and give yon and them the place of honor you both deserve.—l am, etc., F. NORRIS, Organiser. -Uasterton, January 12.
