N.Z. HELP FOR BRITAIN
GIFT OF PAY FOR ONE DAY SUGGESTION BY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (P.A.) INVERCARGILL, August 29. That to ensure more free, food for Britain the opportunity should be given every worker to give one day’s wages towards a fund, was a motion passed at. a meeting of the Invercargill Chamber of Commerce. The chamber decided that the suggestion should be made to the Associated Chambers of Commerce to sponsor a move throughout New Zealand. The chairman (Mr R. F. Jones) said the chamber had been asked to give its support to the “Miss New Zealand” contest, but after a discussion on the advantages of the contest it was agreed that more could be gained by asking for a donation of one day’s wages by all workers. “If we ask the workers of New Zealand for a contribution out of their wages it would save a lot of the ’ballyhoo’ which would be involved in the ‘Miss New Zealand’ contest,” said Mr A. W. Jones. More production and fewer stoppages were the main considerations at the present time, said the chairman. Mr R. Kennedy: It is time a six-day week was worked. There are too many delays in the handling of stock at the freezing works and on the wharves.
