GOOD PROGRESS

Million Pound Appeal By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, November 22. The £250,000 mark has been passed in the Dominion-wide £1,000.000 patriotic appeal. This announcement was made by the organiser (Mr J. Abel) this afternoon when he made his second national review of the results of the campaign. "Looking at the results from the national point of view," said Mr Abel, “I am more than satisfied with them, particularly as a number of major zones are still working along lines results from which will be slow in coming in.” In giving provincial totals to date, Mr Abel pointed out that the figures did not give a true index of the money raised because in quite a few cases they represented only the actual receipts of provincial treasurers and did not take into account amounts in hand in various zones which had not yet been remitted. However, from figures as supplied to him, the position to date was: Otago £60,000, Canterbury £51,300, Wellington £40.450, Auckland £40,000, East Coast £22,500, Hawke’s Bay £12,000, Southland £lO.OOO. Nelson £7OOO. Taranaki £4200, Westland £3750, Marlborough £2700: total £253.900.
