Sick and Wounded Fund
The Gisborne Rotary Club to-day agreed to associate itself with the appeal being made for Red Cross and SI. John sick and wounded fund. The meeting was addressed by Mr. D. C. Purdie, representing the organsiation in charge of the local arrangements, and as a result the club decided to appoint a number of members to interview business and professional men of the town to build up the fund from those sources. Let Down Badly” The feeling the young farmers’ clubs had been "let down badly” over the centennial tree-planting scheme was expressed at the annual meeting of the Wellington council, held in Palmerston North. It was stated that the Government’s offer of free trees had proved to be misleading. The fact was that the trees given by the Government were in Christchurch and freight had to be paid from there. The cost of freight for North Island clubs was prohibitive.
