A report from headquarters informed the committee that if it will continue to send them what tinned food it can they will include it in the parcels that they are still sending regularly to England. Masterton donors have been generous givers of tinned food for England, and the committee is still sending about 200 tins every month.
The committee wish to remind Air Force supporters, that they are always to be found at the Patriotic Rooms (in the Women’s Rest Rooms, Dixon Street) on the first and third Tuesday afternoons of every month, when knitted patterns, etc., are on view. After the meeting the committee packed tinned foods, and a box of woollen garments, including 28 pullovers, 6 balaclavas and 16 pairs of blue uniform gloves.
