THE YALE KEY QUEST

HERE are Aunt Daisy and Barbara giving you some progress results of their Yale Key Quest. The lei-like affair on the left is a keyring threaded by the Wellington Metropolitan Milk Depot. Aunt Daisy wears a similar adornment. As most of you know, Aunt Daisy has an arrangement with the Milk Department whereby anybody with. a spare key can leave it in the milk-bottle. So far 11,262 keys have been collected from all over New Zealand, and the goal is one million, which is equivalent to 1114 tons of scrap metal. The small pile at the bottom right of the picture is the top of a two-feet high pile of old brass, It was too big for the photographer to get it in. On the table are arranged various brass articles which have been sent in to swell the appeal. They are much

too valuable to regard as scrap, so Aunt Daisy has been auctioning them, all proceeds going to the Patriotic Fund. She herself is holding a brass toasting fork, the handle of which is surmounted by Nelson’s Victory. Happy omen for the whole campaign, Aunt Daisy thinks, Aunt Daisy’s scrap metal quest is going on from strength to strength. But a lot of keys are still needed before the million mark is reached. And how about going through the old tool chest and sorting out some old brass hinges, screws and door-knobs? The Listener will continue to give you the results of Aunt Daisy’s appeal. Aunt Daisy and Barbara hope that in the next photo we publish the pile of metal will be so large that only the tops of * their heads will be visible.
