IVELFARE ASSOCIATION V An urgent appeal is made by the Welfare Association this week for money to purchase seeds for the home gardens of those on relief, and others who cannot this year put out the necessary capital to start their gardens and next winter's sup- ply of vegetables on their way. To those who have even a very much cut salary it might seem that the cost of a few seeds would be so trivial as to be with- in the possibility of even the poorest of our neighbors, and it would surprise them to know that there are many residents of this delightful community who have not handled a dollar bill for weeks, snd some not even for months, but such is the case. Donations however small will be gratefully received by the chairman, Rev. F. A. Ramsey, or the secretary, L. Wrisberg. For information in regard to the Gardening Scheme, please apply to Grant McNeill or H. A. Walker. The grocery orders are prac- tically used up now. The dis- tributors are finding it very dif- ficult to make the available food go round, and would appreciate gifts of food. Thanks! To the donor of shoes accomp- anied by a dollar bill for repairs. For the oil lamp, which found a home where the light had been cut oit, the same day. For the gift of several boxes of cereals. For the Grocery order.
