A meeting of the sponsors of the National Council for the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons Tests was held at the house of Canon John Collins in Amen Court and the CND was formally started early in January, 1958. The officers were to be; Canon Collins, the Chairman; Mrs Peggy Duff, the Secretary; and myself, the President. An Executive Committee was formed comprising some of those leaders already established in anti-nuclear movements and a certain number of other interested notables. There had been for some time various associations working to overcome the dangers with which the international scene was fraught. The CND proposed to take them all in - or at least almost all.

添付画像はCNDの資金集めのために作られた tea towel です。1枚売れるごとに1ポンドがCNDに寄付されました。
ちなみに、ティー・タオルというのは、イギリスの王室で生まれたもので、ランチョンマットにしたり、弁当を包んだり、いろいろな使い方ができる「万能グッズ」だそうです。次のサイトで1枚 £12.50(約2,000円)+送料で現在でも売られていますが、英米カナダの国内からでないと注文できないかも知れません。
