First Men To Use New ‘Leave Home’
The first group of Air Force and Ary men to use the Australian Comforts Fund hostel at Magnetic Island will enter the new “leave home” today.
The men, recently returned from battle stations, are being sent to the hostel to rest.
The hostel was being conducted in conjunction with the Y.M.C.A. and the Army authorities had cooperated generously in the new working arrangements, said the newly appointed A.C.F. Queensland Commissioner (Major H. Hovendene) yesterday. The hostel could accommodate about 200 men.
