BRITISH CHILDREN
FINDING HOMES IN WAIRARAPA. LOCAL COMMITTEE’S APPEAL. Residents of Masterton and district who have questionnaires relating to a scheme for the adoption or guardianship of British orphan children are requested to fill in the same and return them at once to Mrs R. Page. It is felt by the committee sponsoring the movement locally that in view of developments in Britain for the evacuation of children either temporarily or permanently, every effort should be made in the Wairarapa to see that local residents are able to offer to take their full quota of children. Although the committee was set up originally with the idea of advancing a scheme for the adoption or guardianship of British orphans, it is now felt that it may have to deal with the arrival of a number of children who are being sent to New Zealand for the duration of the war. The committee therefore solicits the fullest co-operation and assistance of district residents.
