Freedom from Hunger
Nelson and district residents really dug deep in their pockets to help the nation-wide Freedom from Hunger Campaign sponsored by Corso. The last we heard was that £7887 had been collected, compared with £3572 for a similar collection last year. This sum included an anonymous donation of £1000, and at least one £50 note.
Helen Swain and Helen Rout return rattling boxes to Dr.B. A. Kaye, while Mrs H. G. Dawber checks them off the list.
Busy at work counting the money were Graham Newton, Corso committee chairman, Ralph Heslop, and Rob Featherstone.
Richmond's total, £559, is handed in to Nelson's Mayor, Mr Stan Russell, by Richmond Mayor, Mr Alec Doran, while former Richmond Mayor, Mr A. R. Tuffnell, looks on.
