ARI UNION PROFIT

SURPLUS ALLOCATED

SUM OF £12,U0U AVAILABLE

CHRISTMAS GIFT

The Government has allocated the sum of £12.000. representing accumulated art union surpluses for the year from. the. /"5000 alluvial sold art unions, as a Christmas 41ft to a selected list of philanthropic and social welfare organisations

Thi. practice has been for some time to allocate £5000 after the drawing of each" art union to the various Mayoral relief funds of the 'Dominion, ard the balance of the profits from the returns of each art. union is kept until a sufficient sum has b"°n gathered for special distribution among heed-1 institutions. ' .

"From the written requests received from institutions for assistance, I wish the sum now to be allocated were larger." said the Minister of Internal Affairs (the Hon. W E. .Parry), in announcing last evening the grants to be I made from art union funds "So many 1 bodies, even private organisations, ren- ; dering all kinds of service and servi ing social and sports interests, apply for grants, large and small from art union funds that there is not enough money to meet all applications however deserving most of them may be. There may be. of course, other institutions beyond those mentioned m the list, which feel, from the jvork done in the community, they should benefit from the special Christina? allocation. It is thought however thai the institutions now to be assisted are very representative of the different ohases of the country's social activities'" The following is a list of the institutions to receive grants and the amount allocated to each institution:— NATIONAL. £ New Zealand Crippled Children Society ....... 1000 St Vincent de Paul Society Superior Council . •: . - 300 New Zealand League for the Hard of Hearing 300 WELLINGTON.
