House-to-House Collection for Food for Britain on Saturday
Final arrangements have now been completed for the house-to-house canvas in Wanganui on Saturday morning. Last night 20 team leaders met to receive their instructions from Miss lE. Brown, honorary secretary of C.0.R.5.0 who is controlling operaI lions. I The two competitors (Miss Janet Campion and Miss Marjorie Melville) are indebted to the he'p offered from the Technical and Girls' Colleges, the Sacred Heart Convent, and the St. Augustine’s High School. The task of calling on every household in Wanganui is no light one, and the boys and girls of these schools who have given up their morning holiday deserve every encouragement. Their job is to collect money to buy food parcels for Britain, and although the entry fee for each candidate is £250 all money collected i- devoted to this purpose and is sent Home in the form of parcels by the Royal Society of 1 St. George.
