McGregor, of Palmerston North, who died following an accident with an aeroplane at Rongotai, has now closed. The total amount received is £5149 15s, with approximately £ls yet to be forwarded from Wairarapa. It is claimed that the raising of this money is unique, as the gross amount is also the net amount. There were no expenses of any kind, and every penny subscribed went to the fund. It is proposed that it should be devoted to the education of Squadron-leader McGregor's children.
