'CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME,"
A. request from the Now Zealand Academy of I'ino Arts for financial assistance towards establishing a Notional Gallery in Wellington ciimo before tho New Zealand Rugby Union last owning at its annual meeting. It'was proposed to make a donation of fan guineas, but a delegate with his eyo on the rule book declared that the donation was illegal. The chairman (Mr. G. H, Dixon) ruled that he must uphold the objection. The rules provided, he said, that the funds of the union must be expended only in furtherance of the objects for which it had been constituted.
jfr. Manning (Mannwatn) pointed out that the balance-sheet showed that a donation had boon made last year to the Olympic Council, and invited (he chairman to reconcile this with his ruling.
Mr. Dixon: I am afraid that is a poser, Mr. Manning, but still it was in tho cause of sport. Mr. Spriggons (Wanganui): Charity begins at home. A lot of small unions would be glad of that ten guineas. It was decided do inform the Academy of Fine Arts that no donation could'bo made.
