Islands Respond to Plight of Hungarians
Donations were stm pouring in to the Hungarian Relief Fund in Port Moresby up to the end of December and at that time the total was over £3,000.
One of the donations accepted on behalf of the Fund, and described by the Committee as a “prize con tribution” was a sum of £l/19/6 re ceived from the children of the small leper colony at Gemmo, on the other side of Moresby harbour.
The teacher, himself a leper, de scribed how the children had de cided to do something to help after hearing of the plight of the Hungarian children.
The fine effort of these afflicted people touched the hearts of every one, and a move has now been made to donate a movie projector to the Colony so that the patients will have some .entertainment.
Another £2O was raised for the fund by Mr. John E. Johnstone, who showed his own film, Gold From the Sea,” which is a record of how £2,500,000 worth of gold bullion,
weighing 81 tons, was salvaged from the sunken liner Niagara, which was sunk off the New Zealand coast in 1940.
In New Caledonia, sympathisers have raised nearly half a million francs for the Appeal. This is nearly £3,500.
