PATRIOTIC GALA
BETWEEN £650 AND £7OO RAISED As all the returns are not in, the complete result of the effort made in the city on Friday by the Invercargill Traders’ Patriotic Committee on behalf of the Sick and Wounded Fund is not yet known, but it is expected that the amount will be between £650 and £7OO.
Mr D. W. Stalker, chairman of the committee, said that considering the unfavourable weather the result was most satisfactory and he wished to thank the public for the way it had responded to the committee’s effort. The committee had aimed at £lOOO for the day, but in his opinion had the weather been 1 fine this figure would have been exceeded. He added that a word of praise was due to the 18 men who had acted as “policemen” for the mock court. They had been out in the rain all day and throughout the evening bringing in “Culprits” and, incidentally, revenue for the court. Mr Stalker said that in two or three months’ time the committee intended io put on a bigger and brighter show and on lines not previously seen in Invercargill.
