THE PUTARURU PRESS. ’Phone 28 P.O. Box 44 Office Oxford Place THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1929. A WORTHY CAUSE.
IN our advertising columns the Futaruru branch of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union, in a commendable spirit, issues an appeal to the Town Board, religious, sporting bodies, and the general public to take steps to show in a practical manner their sympathy with those who have suffered so grieviously in the recent earthquake. The disaster, appalling in its intensity, is happily relieved by wide spread feeling of sympathy that has gone out to those who at one fell stroke have been deprived of (in some cases) practically their all. This sympathy is being expressed in terms of pounds, shillings and pence, the best way of demonstrating it. j The “ widow’s mite ”in cases like j this is as welcomi as the larger j sums. It is to be hoped that the Union’s desire that the good name i of the 'town and district will be up- • held, will be realised in a full measure.
No doubt the Town Board will, at its meeting on Monday evening, take steps to co-operate with the movers in this matter.
