COUPON-SAVING

SUCCESS OF COMPETITION AT HAWARDEN

A novel competition designed to promote coupon saving, instituted by the Hawarden School, produced spectacular results. Posters showing large Union Jacks were placed on the wall of each class, and the pupils were asked to bring available coupons in an endeavour to cover the flags an as short a period as possible. In the first two days 163 meat coupons and 42 butter coupons were collected in this way. A receiving depot for fat has been established by the Hawarden Famine Emergency Committee at the residence of the chairman, Mr E. A. Grimwood, opposite the Post Office in Hawarden. Farmers are asked to take their fat there when visiting the township or to give it to the drivers of any of Mr W. Prenderville’s trucks for free transport to the depot. Regular deliveries of fat are requested. The depot at King Edward Barracks, where gift foods are packed for dispatch to Britain, reports having received parcels from Malvern, Ashburton. Scargill-Motunau. and Sheffield. Collection at Rangiora The Rangiora Famine Emergency Committee has arranged to open a depot for receiving fat at Mr Schofield’s store in Alfred street. Mr Schofield and Transport (North Canterbury), Ltd., have offered free transport.
