BOOKS FOR SOLDIERS
"Tf was necessary to hire empty waggons to stand at the door for the refuse, for many people had seized this as an opportunity to clean out their rubbish piles." This sidelight on the collection of books for troops in the last war has a lesson. today. If you are ready to go to the trouble of giving books, you will want your gift to be useful. The parcelling up of torn, dirty magazines and dull out-of-date books is so much wasted energy if they are just going to be consigned by the receivers to the rubbish-heap. Give books that you know will be appreciated. Label your parcel " Library Service, Military Camps"; take it to your public library or send it to the Country Library Service, Parliament Buildings, Wellington.
