£7 RAISED AT GIRLS’ STALL
Beckenham Takings For Appeal
Home-made cakes, sweets, dolls’ clothes and toys, supplemented by piles of comics, sausages, toys and other miscellaneous items in a Beckenham garage doorway disappeared rapidly to good advantage yesterday afternoon.
The goods displayed had been carefully prepared and assembled by six young Beckenham girls as their effort towards the Rice Bowl Appeal of the Save the Children Fund. After little more then two hours’ concentrated selling at their stall, the girls, Yensie Nettleton. Marian Sayers; Susan Jones, Linda Neill. Elaine Jacobs, and Rawinia Panirau, were able to report a total of £7 6s 3d received from customers.
With some parents, neighbours and trades people giving help and supervision (one butcher father contribued 101 b of sausages) selling went without a hitch, the girls’ form one arithmetic proving more than adequate in coping with the rush. The girls will now present the takings to the president of the North Canterbury branch of the Save the Children Fund (Miss M. G. Havelaar). 1
