PROFITS FROM SHIPS’ CANTEENS
PATRIOTIC FUNDS BENEFIT
Wellington, This Day.
A cheque for £1468 17s 8d was handed over to the Secretary of the National Patriotic Fund Board to-day by Mr E. Bevan, New Zealand Manager of the Shaw, Savill and Albion Company for the benefit of personnel of New Zealand forces. The money represents profits from the canteens the company is required to maintain on transports. Though the money belongs to the company the principals in London do not wish to retain such profits and all sums realised are being handed to service charities in the United Kingdom and Dominions. New Zealand troops have been carried from time to time and New Zealand’s allocation is the sum mentioned above. It will be allocated to the eleven provincial councils towards the current year’s quotas, on a population basis.
