PATRIOTIC APPEAL
SLOW RESPONSE The East Coast Provincial Patriotic Council is still £20,000 short of its quota for the 12 months ending September 30, and the council is somewhat concerned lest the full amount is not obtained. To date the sum of £6648 10s 3d has been collected. The response to the postal appeal so far is not as encouraging, as the council had hoped, and out of about 3500 envelopes posted to householders only 50 have been returned with donations. It is felt that each household should be able to afford 1 something, even if only a smalt amount, for the benefit of the soldiers fighting their cause, and a more ready response is hoped for in the near future. —Herald.
