PRISONERS OF WAR
WRAPPING OF PARCELS.
INSTRUCTIONS TO NEXT-OF-KIN
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day.
Special instructions regarding parcels sent by next-of-kin to prisoners of war have been issued as a result of the discovery by officers of the Joint Council of the St John Ambulance Association and Red Cross Society that many of these parcels had already arrived at the censoring depots in a bad state.
All senders are advised to wrap .heir parcels in calico or washed flour bags, or in any strong cloth that will stand the weight and friction of parcels carried in large mailbags. The name, address and other information are to be printed on the cloth wrapper. The cloth should not be sewn, as the censoring officials have to examine the parcels. The whole parcel can then be wrapped in paper and tied with string, strong enough to enable it to arrive in good order at the Red Cross or St John depots. After examination the censorship officials will sew up and securely tie the parcel. If in doubt, senders should include-a piece of calico in the parcel large enough to cover and wrap - the parcel securely.
