RING AIDS FUND
An old wedding ring was the means of adding 6s 6d to the National Patriotic Fund recently. The ring belonged to an elderly pensioner and was brought into the National Patriotic Fund Board's gifts depot in Wellington by her daughter, who explained that her mother was anxious to make some contribution to the fund and hoped that she might do so through the ring. The ring, in accordance with the pensioner's wishes, was sold, and the pensioner has the satisfaction of knowing that she has given 6s 6d to the National Fund. A few weeks back another lady handed in a new brass art vase at the gifts depot. This has not yet been disposed of; probably it will be raffled later.
