AWAKERI JUNIOR RED CROSS RAISES £ls FOR APPEAL

On Tuesday afternoon a concert given by pupils of the Awakeri , School under the organisation of the local Junior Red Cross Circle was successful in raising £ls for the «United Nations Appeal for the world’s suffering children. This amount, together with donations to the fund, will be handed to the committee in charge at Whakatane The concert was a fine effort and the first, it is believed, yet organised in the district for the appeal.
