Tasman Flyers

Proposed Radio Fund. MPHE proposal announced last week of raising a fund for presentation to the Tasman flyers is a most excellent one and should appeal to every listenerin. But as no indication was given as to any method of carrying out. the idea, may I suggest that it might be advisable to organise it on the following lines :- 1. That the fund be called the Tasman Flyers Radio Presentation Fund. » 2. That the fund be confined to New Zealand radio license-holders. 3. That the subscription be one shilling per license-holder. 4. That the appeal be made through ‘both the four New Zealand radio stations and. the columns of the "Radio Record." IT need not say that the subscription would not be Mmited to one shilling-

this would be left to the discretion of the individual license-holders. I suppose that the aggregate number of licenses now current is in the vicinity of 40,000. Assuming that each licenseholder subseribed not less than one shilling the amount raised would approximate two thousand pounds, which would be not only a handsome but adequate amount for presentation to these gallant and intrepid airmen. I would further suggest that whatever amount is raised it should be given to the flyers in equal proportions.-56210 (Wellington). :
