ROTARY CLUB’S ACTION EVERY MEMBER TO BE A SUBSCRIBER (P.A.) WELLINGTON, June 15, The Blenheim Rotary Club has decided to invest its surplus funds in the third Liberty Loan, and every Blenheim Rotarian has undertaken to become a personal subscriber in addition. This news, suggests the National War Loan Committee, will be a challenge to other Rotary clubs in New Zealand, nearly 40 of them, to play their corporate and personal part in this important war effort. The Rotarian organisation is well known for public-spirited actions, always having a practical objective, and the Blenheim example will probably encourage many other organisations to follow the same patriotic course. £430,000 INVESTED IN AUCKLAND (P.A.)
