HOME AGAIN
Last Party of Evacuees HE third and last large party of boys and girls evacuated from Britain who have been the guests of the New Zealand Government and people for the last five years sailed for Britain some days ago. The High Commissioner was unable personally to address them before they left, as he would have wished to do, principally in order to take the occasion to try to say a word of thanks on the part of the United Kingdom Government. Instead, Sir Patrick Duff sent this message to them: "On your departure for Britain, Lady Duff and I wish you a good voyage. You have had five memorable years here and will be thinking to-day and for the rest of your lives of the hospitality and loving care which your foster-parents here heve shown you. The British Government share your gratitude for all that has been done for you, in the first. and foremost place by your foster-parents, and by many other people and organisations, and not least by the New Zealand Government. Make a resolve not to lose touch with those who have been such wonderful friends to you, and wherever you go tell Britain of the heart. filling welcome" you have had for five years in New Zealand’s kind and lovely land. "Happy landing to you all, And give my" love to England. — PATRICK DUFF."
