Functions For Patriotic Funds TTENTION is drawn by the DeA partment of Internal Affairs (Patriotic Purposes Branch), to the provisions of the Patriotic Purposes Emergency Regulations 1939, insofar as the collection of funds for patriotic purposes is concerned. The Department advises that it has come under its notice that a number of functions have been organised throughout the Dominion for the collection of funds for patriotic purposes and that in many instances the advertisements relative thereto do not disclose by whom they are being sponsored or whether they have been approved by the appropriate patriotic authority. In this regard the Department points out that it is an offence under the Regulations for any person to raise money or to take up collections in money or goods for any patriotic purpose unless « such Purpose is an approved Purpose and such person is an authorised. collector. Provincial Patriotic Councils established pursuant to the said regulations, have been vested with the sole power to appoint authorised collectors, but ‘they may delegate such power to the Chairman of the Council, or with respect to any sub-division of the Provincial District, to the controlling committee of such sub-division which may delegate such power to the Chairman of such committee or to the Mayor or Chairman of any local authority in res-
pect of any part of the district of such local authority forming part of such subdivision, It is therefore encumbent on any person or organisation wishing to organise entertainments, dances or other functions in aid of patriotic funds to make application to the appropriate authority for the necessary approval, Such permission is required only where the entertainment, dance or other function is Tepresented, by advertisement or otherwise, as being held with the object of raising funds for patriotic purposes, The Department appreciates to the full the patriotic motives which have actuated citizens and organisations
throughout the Dominion in organising functions in aid of the patriotic funds, and solicits the continuance of their valuable assistance and co-operation in seeing that the regulations, which are designed to ensure that funds raised for patriotic purposes shall be properly accounted for, are duly complied with.
