Billions of trees are annually felled without others being planted to replace them. Within 25 years n 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 `n decade.

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 £600.

WORK DONE BY ST. DUNSTAN'S.

SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT ISSUED

The courage with which the war- blinded men of St. Dunstan's have learned to adapt their lives to a tragic affiction is almost proverbial. Whatever their employment, they seem to put into it, through sheer pride, rather more than the averago amount of expert zeal; while those who have been privileged to meet any of these men in their homes or to observe their prowess on playing- field, river, or fee-rink cannot fall 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 boon deceived into a too-complacent attitude of mind regarding them, who forget that blindness is a tragedy and that behind all the cheerfulness Hes a long tale of par- sonal heroism. Behind it too lle years of patient training and of highly eficient organisation. The blinded mon themselves never for- get what they owe to St. Dunstan's

The seventeenth Annual Report of this great Institution has just been issued. To rend 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 renlises, 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.
