AIRGRAPH SERVICE
NOW AVAILABLE TO CIVILIANS. MAILS TO UNITED KINGDOM. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. From today the airgraph service hitherto available in New Zealand mainly for messages addressed to members of the forces in Canada, the United Kingdom and the Middle East, is being extended to provide for the acceptance of messages addressed to civilians in the United Kingdom. The charge for a message of the civilian category is lOd. The Postmaster-General, Mr Webb, stated last evening that the advice received from London indicated that airgraph mails from New Zealand for the United Kingdom took on an average 19 days in transmission, and in view of this it was felt that the decision to accept messages for civilians without restriction would be welcomed by the New Zealand public. The extension of the service would coincide with the introduction of an airgraph service (for messages for both the Armed Forces and civilian categories) from the United Kingdom to this Dominion. >
