A Queensland Brewers Association driven appeal reached its initial target on Saturday with donations surpassing four hundred pounds to aid the war effort.

Despite the success, organizers warned that further similar gifts are needed to maintain momentum and protect households against inflation. Acknowledgments were given to Mrs J. G. Allen for her role and for the Women’s and Children’s funds.
