Allies Fair Total Is Now £loo9/14/0
The Allies Fair effort conducted by the Whangarei Women’s Activities Patriotic Sub-committee has reached its objective and passed the £1001) mark. The figure announced this morning by the organiser (Mr. C. P. Butler) showed that £IOO9/14/3 clear of all expenses had been netted. “Yesterday afternoon. after the ‘Advocate’ had appeared on the streets, I was approached by four separate gentlemen, who had each asked me not to close the books at under £IOOO without advising them,” Mr. Butler said. “It was typical of the spirit that has predominated throughout the fair. “Our figures bear out our slogan: ‘lt Can: be Done’,” he added. Although the figures are reasonably final, it is possible that some slight adjustment might still have to be made, although it is certain that the figure will not be less than the total stated. The Whangarei Women’s Activities Patriotic Sub-committee meets on Friday and will have the complete financial statement placed before it.'
