PLUNKET DAY
Collectors Picket Auckland Streets A WORTHY CAUSE Plunket Day is round again. Collection boxes are rattling in the streets and crowds are wearing the neat badge to show that they have contributed the good cause. Of the many collections that are taken up in the streets of Auckland during the year the Plunket Day collection is perhaps the one that appeals most to the heart and pocket of the public. The Plunket Society is so essentially a possession of New Zealand, and works so plainly and so well that it must be rarely that the collectors are refused. Today stalls are scattered through the city to act as bases and at every corner and vantage-point workers stand with boxes in the one hand and badges in the other, ready to appeal to the passers-by. The fine weather and tomorrow’s races should do much to increase the number of people in the city and it is to be hoped that the collection will be a record one.
