Museum appea support grows
The Canterbury Museum’s building appeal continued to receive public support, the director (Dr R. S. Duff) reported to the Museum Trust Board yesterday. With one year of the fiveyear pledge period to go. the pledged total exceeded $255,000, and $233,000 had been received in cash so far, he said. The latest estimate of the cost of the anniversary wing was $230,000 for building needs. Because of the greatlyincreased public interest now that the building was near-
mg completion, he was cfident that the final $20,0. would be subscribed. Many subscribers had cor tributed more than they ha pledged, a notable example being the doubling cf e $5OOO pledge towards a special feature in the Antarctic Hall. A second loan flotation o' $lOO,OOO had been fully sub scribed. Dr Duff also reported that the issue of a second Antarctic print—a study of Adelie penguins by Rog*i Tory’ Peterson—was attracting growing interest.
