GIFTS FOR RUSSIA
ADVICE FROM HIGH COMMISSIONER. RECEIVED BY LADY GALWAY GUILD. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON. This Day. The chairman of the Lady Galwa?/ Guild, Mrs Knox Gilmer, has received a letter from the High Commissioner (Mr Jordan) stating that the distribution of clothing sent from New Zealand for women and children in Russia has not been very easy to deal with, because the only articles acceptable are cardigans. jerseys, skirts, thick woollen frocks, woollen socks and stockings, scarves, gloves, mittens, helmets, warm coats and warm shelter suits. Mr Jordan advises concentrating upon the shipping of such articles in time for next winter. He adds that the guild’s policy in future should be the same as in the past “leaving it to us at this end to make such a distribution as we think advisable of the gifts which the Russian civilian would welcome.”
