GREAT RESPONSE
KING GEORGE MEMORIAL FUND (British Official Wireless.) (Received January 22, 11 a.m.) RUGBY, January 21. The result of the appeal to those with banking accounts to transfer odd shillings and pence in such accounts to the King George Memorial Fund will not be known for some days, but reports indicate that the scheme has met with an overwhelming response. The prominence given to the campaign also resulted in an increase in the contributions made in other ways. Six weeks ago letters containing donations were reaching Mansion House at the rate of about 200 daily.
The Lord Mayor stated that during this final week of appeal the number had risen to 1500 daily, the gifts ranging from large cheques to contributions as small as threepence.
