Disposing Of The Big Ox
Disposing Of The Big Ox
At 7 o'clock the piece, apage 3 faddle, went along. And then another organising committee could start counting. The market had brought in 60,000 N.Kr. Total result of the Refugee Day: 125,000 N.Kr. (£6,250).
A few days later the students got a rather unusual gift from one of Oslo's dally newspapers: a big ox! It was cooked over an open fire in front of the University and passers-by could pay what they liked for a slice and a small glass of beer (another gift). The Lord Mayor was the first customer, and very many followed him. By the evening only the bare bones were left … another 10,000 Kr. (£500) for a good cause! At the same time the students in Bergen collected two tons of coins. In some factories and firms the employees decided to give the weight of their managing director in coins! No wonder the result was first class: altogether 60,000 N.Kr. (£3.000).
This was how International Refugee Year was opened In Norway. If yon can use any of these Ideas in your countrv, you are free to do so!
