This appeal lias been heard, and steps are being taken to raise money by the various bodies concerned with Belgian relief. Th« executive of the local Belgium Relief Fund is taking activc steps to secure that Canterbury shall make a good showing in a cause which is vcrv appropriate to the present season.
