ABORIGINES.-ADVANCEMENT LEAGUE
( VICTORIA) APPEALLI _ RC' 4
The Commonwealth Government will be contributing
to an appeal by the Aborigines Advancement League ( Victoria)
to provide funds for the erection of a new centre for the
league in Northcote, Melbourne.
The Commonwealth Government fully supports the objectives of
the appeal which is being conducted by a committee of
prominent Victorian citizens. Mr Ronald Walker, C. B. E.,
is the appeal Chairman.
The league was formed in 1958 and is the oldest and best
known Victorian Aboriginal organisation. Since its establishment
the league has worked towards the educational, social economic
and political advancement of Aboriginal Australians.
The new centre in Northcote will provide accommodation,
counselling rooms, a library, workshop facilities, a display
area and associated facilities.
The appeal is worthy of generous support by all sections of
the community. I hope the Commonwealth Government' s support
will stimulate further contributions.
