Life Saving STREET DAY PROCEEDS
Allocation To Clubs
A record total of £lll5 3s 6d had been collected in the recent street day appeal, the treasurer of the Canterbury Surf Life-saving Association (Mr W. I. Boyce) reported last evening. The previous highest total was in 1958, when £794 had been collected, he said.
The association decided to give £ 150 from the street day collection to each of the six Canterbury clubs, £64 to the Kotuku Club (Greymouth), and to retain £l5O for its own uses.
Increasing difficulty was being experienced in getting juniors away from school for the national championahips, said Mr B. Blackmore. He said that the Canterbury association should urge the New Zealand association to hold its championships in the school holidays in future. Headmasters had already threatened to prevent boys from going and he agreed with them. With the boys attending swimming championships, water polo championships, surf championships, and other events, it was very difficult for them to do their school work satisfactorily as well, Mr Blackmore said.
