Radio Co-operates In Drive For Patriotic Funds
Here is shown a reproduction of the "comforts coupon" which is a special feature of the campaign for Patriotic Funds described here
HIS week and next there is to be a "T cnet campaign throughout the Dominion to raise funds for the National Patriotic Fund. So far the money raised this year has fallen sadly short of expectations, and more funds must be raised before the end of the financial year if the work of the board is to continue unchecked. The aim of this week’s drive is to raise a considerable sum so that the provision of recreation huts, scarves and gloves for cold weather, and cigarettes and parcels for all seasons may be continued. * The NBS is co-operating with the board throughout the campaign by featuring talks and spot announcements. In these talks a number of popular misunderstandings will be cleared up. Your boy may go to another hut, Salvation Army: or Y.M.C.A.. and you may say. "Why should I support the Patriotic Fund when these other bodies are doing so much more?" If you listen you will find that the National Patriotic Fund

You may buy your coupons for whatever you wish to send-2/- (or more) for cigarettes or chocolates, or £2 for more extensive parcels. Or you may decide to give £200 for hut equipment, or indeed £2,000 for new recreation huts. There is no limit. : Every night it will be announced over the air how much money has been raised and what the total has reached. On the final night, Saturday, August 15, there will be a special Patriotic Funds Appeal programme featuring a telephonic linkup throughout the Dominion which will make it possible for you to telephone your contributions. The totals reached by each provincial district will be announced at intervals ‘throughout the evening, and this will be your opportunity of showing what your district or home town can do,
