It was reported that special glove wool and patterns are available. There are large stocks of wool, and knitters may obtain the same from any member of the committee. England is facing her fifth winter of cold and black-out. Many New Zealanders have been there for several years, and it?s hoped to forward many bales of woollies for replacements. New Zealand men in Canada also need bales of woollen comforts, and the committee look to all knitters to help to supply them. x xTThe committee stood in silence to the memory of two staunch workers who will be much missed —Mrs E.
