BIRD CAGE APPEAL
At a time when Christchurch Lions Club members are busy collecting old spectacles they find they have to acquire urgently more than 100 bird cages. The club' planned to provide elderly persons living on their own with pet birds—a project for late July-early August.
Arrangements were mpde with the- Christchurch Canary and Cage Bird Club to breed the bird?, preferably of singing or talking varieties, for distribution then.
However, the birds have bred too fast and 22 premature birds are awaiting cages. About 150 birds will eventually be needed —a number based on a quick survey of the Nurse Maude District Nursing Association, the Red Cross, and the Methodist Central Mission.
Persons having disused cages who care to contribute them may reach Mr T. H, Phipps, the organiser, who will arrange to have them collected. Mr Phipps’s home telephone number is 52-697 (office 65-916).
