STREET DAY APPEAL
More Than £195 Collected
The Flag Day appeal of the Wellington centre, St. John.' Ambulance Asnociation and Brigade, yesterday, resulted in the collection of a sum of £195/16/9, made up as follows: — Bowen Street (Red Cross Society), £22/0/3; Wairarapa Farmers’ Co-op. (Ladies’ Aux. Health Camp Assn.), £l5/0/64; Kirkcaldie and Stains (Wellington Nursing Division), £26/13/104; General Post Office (Karori and St. Paul’s 'Nursing' Division), £3O/17/64; Stewart Dawson’s (Wellington Townswomen’s Guild), £33/12/6J; Boulcott Street (No. 1 and No. 2 Y.W.C.A. Nursing Divisions), £l2/3/2; James Smith’s Corner (Brooklyn Nursing Division), £l4/1/64 ; Courtenay Place (Wellington ■South Nursing Division), £26/18/1; Sergeant C. Fuller (Wellington Ambulance Division), £l4/9/24. Total, £195 16/9. The idea of giving flags in lieu of the usual badge appeared to meet with the general approval of the public, and was in keeping with the appeal made by the Order of St. John in England. A check was kept on the number of flags issued, and it is estimated that some seven thousand citizens responded. The last appeal made by the association was in 1935, when the sum of £ll9 0/5 was collected.
