PATRIOTIC MEETINGS
HELD UP BY RESTRICTIONS
An Auckland message states that the Minister of Internal Affairs, Mr. Parry, has advised the National Patriotic Fund Board that he has obtained approval for the issue of 10 additional totalisator licences for race meetings to raise patriotic funds. The allocation of seven of the permits was left to the New Zealand Racing Conference and of three to the New Zealand Trotting Conference. The information was given in reply to a remit passed at the Dominion conference of the Patriotic Fund Board last November. The Minister added that the arrangement was that all of the profits from each of the race meetings was to be paid to the board for allocation to the various patriotic councils. “Unfortunately,” added the Minister, “it has been found necessary to advise the two conferences that, on account of the reimposition of railway retrictions, the utilisation of the special totalisator licences should be held over till later in the season when the restrictions are removed.”
