Whangarei Stamps To Aid in Blackouts
Girls of the Whangarei High School last term made a special effort to collect used postage stamps. These will be sent to the Huntingfield Senior School, which had evacuated to Berkshire. The effort resulted in 21,000 stamps being collected—-every country and value imaginable being represented. They weighed over 61bs. The lead given by the Whangarei High School girls might well be followed, by others. Sorting and classification of the stamps will help the Huntingfield girls to while away the long evenings .of the blackouts.
