A scheme for raising the Dominion’s patriotic quota by means of a levy on entertainments was "suggested by Mr G. Ray, secretary of the Timaru Trades Council Mr Ray was speaking to a meeting of the Timaru Patriotic (Zone) Committee, and representatives of political and industrial organisations called to discuss the patriotic committee’s suggested scheme of raising the 1944 quota by means of a voluntary system of donations from householders. The Trades Council, said Mr Ray,’ were not in favour of the patriotic committee’s scheme, but offered an alternative suggestion: that the War Cabinet should be approached to impose a levy on persons paying admission to amusements, entertainments, sports meetings, and race meetings. They also suggested that a fraction of all dividends from these sources should go to patriotic purposes. Bang go the prices at White’s Big Fashion Summer Sale. Watch the big window display.
