Appeal For Binoculars And Compasses
An appeal by the _ military authorities for binoculars, compasses and night glasses for use in the army is to be made to the public of New Zealand. At the moment there is a shortage of these essential instruments, which form part of every officer's equipment in the field. Because of the high quality and accuracy required in the manufacture of such instruments they cannot be made quickly in the mass, hence the present shortage. Most of the finest lenses for binoculars and night glasses come from countries which are now occupied by the Nazis, and in war-time requirements are such that they cannot easily be supplied. It is to be hoped that all citizens who possess compasses, binoculars, etc., will present them to the army for the use of our men. Such a patriotic gesture will be greatly appreciated. A similar appeal was made recently in Australia, and produced large numbers of these instruments, Citizens presented them so generously that the shortage in the Australian Forces was soon overcome.
