Salient. Victoria University of Wellington Students' Newspaper. Volume 31, Number 20. September 3, 1968

Thoughtful

Thoughtful

A cheque for five dollars, payable to the editor of Salient, arrived in the mail early in the holidays.

With it was this letter.

Dear Sir,

I see on P.1 of the latest Salient that a collection was or will be taken up for Alan Wiltshire'sand that you recently collected money for Biafran war refugees.

I haven't much money myself but would like very much to contribute to both causes if I may.

I am enclosing a cheque for five dollars.

If it is too late to contribute to Biafran refugees and Alan has all his fine paid then the money could be used to keep pay for some impecunious student to go to the Foreign Policy Conference in Hamilton on August 17 and 18. (See P.12 of Salient.)

Yours Sincerely,

Mrs Irene F. Long.

P.S. If my cheque is used to help someone go to the Conference in Hamilton, might I ask that in return he or she send me news about the Conference afterwards—over and above what I'm likely to glean from the paper, TV or radio.

Better still if he or she could and would visit me here (after finals would do, I know you're all no busy) and tell me personalty. I'll shout the rail ticket from Wellington in that case.

Anyway best wishes for the Conference and to you and all you fine students at the University.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs Irene F. Long.

As only about $5 of Alan Wiltshire's fine has been paid as a result of the appeal to students the editor will pay the whole amount of the cheque into the appeal fund.

Would anybody who went to the Conference in Hamilton and would be willing to visit Mrs Long, please contact the editor for her address?
