COLLECTORS REBUFFED
EXPERIENCE IN WHANGAREI. PATRIOTIC FUND APPEAL. WHANGAREI, This Day. The women of Whangarei are reluctant to make street collections for soldiers’ comforts. The reason stated is that so many rebuff's were experienced when a collection was made yesterday that only £53 was contributed, compared with £l2O on a previous Flag Day, held in November. A variety of excuses was met with, many of the people approached saying they did not believe in malting contributions, while others claimed that they had other things to do with their money.
