Grants From Ng Comforts

Fund

THE New Guinea Women’s Club of Sydney has asked us to publish the following notice:— Applications for financial assistance are invited from ex-prisoners of war who enlisted from New Guinea and from the dependents of deceased prisoners-of-war who enlisted from New Guinea who are in financial need. Applicants should furnish, in writing, full particulars of place and date of enlistment, service, period and place of service as a prisoner of-war, &c., and the circumstances upon which application for relief is based. Ap plications should be made to the Secre tary, New Guinea Women’s Club, 77 King Street, Sydney not later than May 31, 1950. (This fund is distinct from the Club’s general fund for the assistance of civil internees, POWs or their dependents. It is money held by the New Guinea Com fort’s Fund at the civil evacuation of the

Territory in 1942, and later handed to the New Guinea Women’s Club of Sydney for the specific purpose of assisting New Guinea-enlisted Servicemen who became POW’s, or dependents of deceased POW’s who had enlisted in New Guinea. The money cannot be used for any other pur pose than that specified. The New Guinea Women’s Club is now anxious to wind up this fund. Applications for grants will be treated in strictest con fidence.) Professor E.
