Marriage Note In Nelson Apple Case
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) DAWSON CREEK (British Columbia), June 12. A Canadian girl working in Australia has received an off er of help to get a husband from a grocer in England.
The offer answers a note which the girl slipped into a box of apples she was packing while working in Nelson, New Zealand, two months ago. The note read: "Finder please write to Miss Donna Fox; aged 23; statistics, 35-22-36; object, matrimony,” and gave her address in Dawson Creek. The note arrived in the grocer’s shop of Mr Bert May, in Folkesstone. Mr May who is already married, offered Miss Fox an English “base of operations” if she wanted to visit England to search for a husband.
Miss Fox is at present working in a hotel in Her-
ron Island, Queensland, her mother, Mrs Lilian Fox, said today. “She probably doesn’t even know where her note ended ” Mrs Fox said. Mrs Fox described her daughter as a pretty sft 7in brunette with a nice figure. Referring" to the expression, "object matrimony,” Mrs Fox said:
“It’s all a big joke. She isn’t looking for a busband, just adventure.’’ Miss Fox and two girl friends left their office jobs in Vancouver last year and sailed to New Zealand in September at the start of a working holiday around the world.
