"UNKNOWN FRIENDS."
Lord Nuffield Surprised By Number of "Relations." BIG DONATION TO MELBOURNE. (Received 11 a.m.) MELBOURNE, this day. Lord Nuffield has given £25,000 to the Lord Mayor's fund. It is the largest single donation ever received by that fund. It is announced that £15,000 of it will go to the metropolitan hospitals, £7500 to country hospitals, and £2500 to the Society for Crippled Children. Since his arrivel in Australia, Lord Nuffield said, he had discovered he has many more "relations" than he knew of, but they are few compared with "old school friends." If all the men who claimed to have gone to school with him had actually done so, he must been educated in a schoolroom at least 120 yards in length. "Actually," he said. "I received my education in a room about 12 feet square."
