Britain Drive
THE drive recently organised by the British Residents of Vila, New Hebrides, for “Food for Britain” parcels, resulted in the collection of ap proximately £A9OO.
An interesting contribution was that of £ A 248 sent in by “Natives of the Church of Christ and Independent Missions of Aoba and Maevo Islands” in the north of the New Hebrides. These natives had not been asked to contribute and had heard of the drive quite in directly.
Food parcels are being sent from Aus tralia, partly to nominees of local workers in the drive, but mostly to the British Red Cross, which has kindly offered to distribute them to needy homes. Each parcel contains a' card stating it has been sent “by the British Community in the New Hebrides” or “from the natives of the Missions of Aoba and Maevo Islands, New Hebrides,” as the case may be.
