PATRIOTIC FUNDS
Nelson To Make Direct Public Appeal (By Telegraph—Press Association.) NELSON, January 23. Discarding by a large majority the appointed committee’s proposal to hold a queen carnival at an early date to raise funds for patriotic purposes,, a big public meeting passed a motion, the effect of which is that an effort will be made to raise the Nelson district patriotic funds by a direct public appeal and a house-to-house canvass. Following the carrying of a motion to this effect moved by the Rev. W. Rowe on behalf of the Ministers’ Association, the meeting took a somewhat surprising turn when a citizen offered to donate £5O to the funds and he was quickly followed by many others, with the result that within 15 minutes approximately £5OO was donated or promised by those present.
