ART UNION DRAWN AT 3ZB
HE interest of the Commercial Stations in War efforts has led to a rather unusual position in Christchurch, The Station personalities and 3ZB generally have been co-operating with the Red Cross and Patriotic Fund undertakings, and particularly in connection with the public raffles has 3ZB been busy. The practice in the past has been to draw these raffles quietly under police supervision at the City Council: Chambers, but lately the major raffles are being brought to 3ZB Studio, and the whole of the proceedings connected with the drawing are broadcast to Canterbury citizens at large. The sold ticket butts are laid out in numerical sequence, and
from a series of barrels marbles are drawn to indicate the winning number. Representative citizens attend with the committee conducting the raffle, and as His Worship the Mayor is chairman of the Canterbury Patriotic Fund he. has the honour of drawing the prize. The use of 3ZB Studio in this connection seems to be an admirable arrangement, because there is some provision for spectators in both the studio and the lounge, and in addition there is no delay in informing the public of tkeir luck in the competitions. There have been at least half-a-dozen major raffles conducted in Christchurch which have brought in from £1,000 to £4,000 each, and in practically every case Station 3ZB has been connected with the conduct of the raffle and has been the focal point for the drawing.
