THE "GEORGE" FUND.
APPEAL BY HON. G. FOWLDS
WELLINGTON, Last Night, The Hon. Geo. Fowlds (Minister of Education) asks the Press to make a special appeal to the "Georges" of New Zealand to contribute to the "King George Fund," promoted to provide from the Georges of the Empire a. token of their loyalty to the George who will soon be crowned. "The response to the notice inserted in the Press by His Excellency the Governor," states the Hon. Fowlds, "amounted up till a week or so ago to a little over £l4. Tliis amount looks too paltry to send Home from New Zealand, and would give altogether a false impression of tho loyalty in this part of Has Majesty's Dominions. The time for receiving contributions has been extended by fourteen days, and it has been arranged that the Bank: of New Zealand will receive them at any of its branches and forward the amounts to Wellington. The time has been too short for any organised movement, so that the success of New Zealand's part in the Empire presentation depends upon voluntary action of the Georges throughout the country." '.
