Correspondents Wanted America and South Africa

Correspondents Wanted America and South Africa

From America and South Africa, letters have come to the N.Z.U.S.A. seeking to establish correspondence between students in New Zealand and students in their countries.

The first letter is from the Hobby Guild of America.

"The Hobby Guild of America, composed of individuals of many hobbies and as many interests, has been actively functioning in this country for many years and now includes an extensive and enthusiastic membership.

"Many of our constituents have requested that we inaugurate an International Correspondence Exchange to make possible the interchange of ideas on hobbles as well as on questions of economic significance.

"We shall welcome your assistance in the organisation of such an international hobby and economic forum. Members of your institution who wish to correspond with individuals in the United States may now register their names with our organisation, together with an account of their hobbies and diverse leisure-time pursuits. In the near future they will receive correspondence from members of The Hobby Guild of America.

"We trust that this effort will in some measure realise better understanding between a large group of individuals, and tend to knit the human race into an international brotherhood through mutual Interest in constructive pursuits."

The Guild offers many facilities for students Interested in various hobbles. The Advisory Board includes among others such authorities as Dr. Franz Boas, Frank Buck. Robert Ripley. Tony Sarg, John Sloan, Dr. Sigmun Spaeth. With the assistance of this board advice is given on superior hobby supplies of all kinds and the idea is to effect economy for members so that they can go on with the enjoyment of their hobbles with a minimum of cost.

The address of the Bobby Guild of America is 11 West [unclear: pad] Street. Now York. If you are Interested, write indicating your preferred leisure time Interests and activities. You are then enrolled into membership and you receive literature about your particular hobby, and there is put at your disposal certain services which all hobbyists will appreciate.
