MOUNTING APACE
RED CROSS & ST. JOHN FUND
CONTRIBUTIONS AT RATE OF £lO,OOO A DAQY. OUTSTANDING EFFORT MADE IN CHRISTCHURCH. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH. This Day. New Zealand is contributing to the Sick, Wounded and Distress Fund at the rate of £lO.OOO a day. The appeal for £250.000 was launched on May 12 and up to last Friday, £160,000 had been received.
These facts were revealed today by Major Abel, Dominion treasurer of the appeal. He said the figures already in hand did not include proceeds from the barrow day in Christchurch. These were not yet complete, but he understood they would run to approximately £lO.OOO. This effort was outstanding in New Zealand and was easily a record and one that would take a long time to beat.
