Getting collectors for Corso’s winter door-to-door appeal is like pushing manure up a mountain. That is just what several Corso collectors did on Saturday to drum up public response to an appeal for collectors for Corso’s annual appeal next Saturday. Armed with a barrow of manure and a few signs, the collectors marched along Colombo Street to the top of Dyers Pass Road. The national total collected for Corso last year was $330,000 and an increase of about 20 per cent is expected this year. Displays have been set up in the Canterbury Public Library and in Christchurch City Council offices to promote Corso week.
