Books For Soldiers
"A million dollars for a million books for a'million men" was the slogan with which the campaign for funds was boosted when the American Library Association decided in September 1917, to give library service to the United States army. They called for a million dollars; they got their million, and seven hundred and forty-nine thousand seven hundred and six dollars (and thirty-one cents) over the margin. New Zealanders are being asked not for cash, but only for books. Can they find fifty thousand? Label your parcel " Library Service, Military Camps"; take it to your Public Library or send it to the Country Library Service, Parliament Buildings, Wellington.
