PLUNKET APPEAL

STREET DAY TOMORROW URGENT NEED FOR £2,300 The Pltinkei Society’s annual street collection will be made tomorrow and the result will determine the society’s activities during ensuing years. THIS is the society’s eoming-of-age year, and in those 21 years it has progressed from a dream to an organisation which stretches throughout New Zealand. On the result of the appeal depends largely the amount of service which can be given. The sum of £2,300 is needed, apart l'rom the Government subsidy, to carry on the work of the Auckland branch, and to raise this the society ia dependent on private subscription, public entertainments, and the annual appeal on Plunket Bay. At present there is urgent work for two extra nurses, whose employment is dependent on funds. Last year the street collection yielded approximately £SOO. The women’s committee gives a great deal of time to the welfare of the society, and in the last resort the burden of finance will fall on it. It is hoped that the citizens of Auckland will continue the suppor: given in previous years, and respond generously to tomorrow’s appeal.
