Levin Exceeds Its Health Stamp Quota

Levin - exceeded its campaign quota of health stamps on the first day yesterday by £18. The quota was £341 and the openin# day figure was £359, being £49 behind last year's first day total of £408, which also exceeded the campaign quota. In a drive of business premises, the Levin Junior Chamber of Commerce collected £146. The women's stall in Oxford Street yesterday sold stamps to the value of £22 10s. An example of * the interest shown by school children in the campaign is given when it is realised that of the 1500 health stamp covers distributed in Levin yesterday, 1000 went to school children. As usual the demand exceeded the supply, ail covers having been distributed by three o'clock in the afternoon. During the entire campaign last year the total amount collected in Levin was. £671. A hotise-to-house canvass will be made by the Levin boy scouts on Saturday. Last year these boys collected over £50 and are hoping to exceed this reeord on Saturday. The Health. Stamp Committee expresses its thanks once again for the suppoft given by the public, and hopes that it will be sustained throughout the campaign and that Levin will be well in the lead when the final Dominlioiii tally is made.
