failing.

Billions of trees are annually felled without others being planted to replace them.

Within 25 years a timber famine, together with a corresponding increase in prices, is inevitable.

New Zealand Perpetual Forests, Ltd., are pursuing a policy of afforestation which will give their bondholders a unique position in the realm of timber producers within decade.

UF

By purchasing one £30 bond (by instalments) you become entitled to the rights in one acre of the finest pine land in the world, planted with 680 trees.

The value of this bond will be, at a conserva- tive estimate, £250 in approximately twelve years, at which time the wood is suitable for -pulping: or, if the timber is allowed to attain maturity, at the end of twenty years, the bond will be worth an estimated value of

£500.

WORK DONE BY ST. DUNSTAN'S.

SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT ISSUED

Д

The courage with which the war- blinded men of St. Dunstan's have learned to adapt their lives. to a tragic affliction is almost proverbial. Whatever their employment, they Boom to put into it, through sheer pride, rather more than the average amount of expert zeal; while those who have been privileged to meet any of theas men in their homes or to observe their prowess on playing- field, river, or ice-rink cannot fail to have been impressed all the time by their astonishing normality. Indeed, just because of that appear ance of normality, there may be a few unimaginative people who have been deceived Into a too-complacent attitude of mind regarding them, who forget that blindness is tragedy and that behind all the eheerfulness lies a long tale of per- Ronal heroism. Behind it too lle years of patient training and of highly efficient organisation. The blinded men themselves never for- get what they owe to St. Dunstan's The seventeenth Annual Report of this great Institution has just been issued. To read It, to study particularly the way in which those responsible have faced the peculiar difficulties of a year in which col lections and donations have dropped twenty-five per cent, is to begin to understand the high reputation of St. Dunstan's for sound business. administration. One realises, too, something of the magnitude of a work that involves the promotion and maintenance of employment, health, and happiness for almost all the war-blinded ex-service men of the Empire.
