A Typical Conversation
Kupe Club Member: Hello. Jack! Do YOU get the “Advocate?" Jack: “No!" -Well, you won't know anything about the Kupe Club's 15*29 campaign?" jr.ck; “i wouldn'i say that. Almost everyone tins heard SOMETHING about it. There’s a crip to the Wellington Exhibition, isn't there” K.C.M.; “Yes. there is." Jack: “Wouldn't mind if I were a member. I’d like to see the Exhibition but there’s not much chance c f Mum and Dad being free with no one to look after the cows." K.CMVL* “You can still take pan--you don’t have to be a member of the Kune Chib to join in the Exhibition hip, though if you take my lip you'll certainly join the Club just for the fun you get out of it. But thais by the way. The Kupe Club’s aim is to bring happiness into the lives of others and if there are Young Northlandevs who don’t read the page wo don't mind them benefiting as the result of the worli the Kupe Club is doing. In fad, we. want them to.” Jack; “You mean to say that even if I’m not a member of the Kupe Club I can still go on that week’s holiday to Wellington if I want to?" K.C.M.: “Most certainly you can. But, look here, you needn’t take my word for it. On June 6 and June 8. there aim special copies of the ‘Young Wortblander’ being printed telling all about the Centennial holiday scheme. These two papers will be sent to you absolutely free if you yourself write to Kupe, care “Advocate” Office, Water Street Whangarei. Or you can fill in a form that I’ll give you from my paper.”
Jack: “That's jolly decent of you. I’ll certainly send for the papers. I’d like to show them to jQad. He’s promised me a holiday if I pass at the end of the year, so most likely he’d let me go to Wellington.” K.C.M.: “Splendid. Only one thing. Mention my name when you write in, will you? You sec there’s a prize offered for the -Young Northlander’ render who introduces the scheme to
ihc greatest number of young people who don't ordinarily get the page. You'll be another one to my account.” Jack: Til certainly do that." K.C.M.: "And write soon, won't you." Jack: “The very minute I get home." That conversation—or one very like it—has taken place more than once in
the past week. You wouldn’t lot YOUR friend miss an opportunity to learn all about our holiday scheme, would you? Then give him the application form that is printed elsewhere on this page. Or, if you have already given that away, ask him to write for free papers right away.
