SOUTH AFRICAN RELIEF FUND
£lOO Sent From New Zealand
(New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, June 14. The sum of £lOO is being sent from New Zealand to a fund set up to help the relatives and dependants of persons who have suffered as a result of apartheid in South Africa. This was announced today by Professor K. M. Buchanan, chairman of the South African Aid Fund, and the Rev. R. Thornely, a trustee. They said that none of the money given so far had been spent to promote the fund. These expenses had been met from the pockets of the local committee.
“The money is transmitted to South Africa through a fund in London under the control of Christian Action,” said Professor Buchanan “These folk have been collecting money for some time to help relieve distress in Sputh Africa. “We have just received word from Canon L. J. Collins, the treasurer of Christian Action and Precentor of St. Paul’s that £9500 has been sent within the last month and more is urgently needed.” ■
