This fund will be used in conjunction with the big yearly effort made by the Elks and other organizations. Last Christmas was the first time we opened our columns for this purpose and considering the short time the fund was open the response was very good. This year we hope to very materially increase the total. Donations may be mailed to the )Vest Van News, P. O. Box 101, Hollybur», or can be left at our office and all donations will be acknowledged in the first subse- quent issue of the News. Honor yourself by helping to make more cheerful the lot of those less fortunately situated. It is more blessed to give than to receive. It is hoped that this Christmas time none in AVest Vancouver will feel the pinch of need. IVe invite your help.
