WELFARE NOTES ~ During July the Association distributed 187 parcels of cloth- ing; 87 parcels of groceries; 16 pots of lam and repaired 14 pairs of boots. These distribu- tions cannot be made unless the goods come in, nor can the hoots be repaired without cash. The association is very grateful to those citizens who have made these items possible, but it also feels that there are still many who in the comfort of a job have not quite realized that a very real need for help exists. Funds have become appallingly low snd it has been found necessary to curtail considerably the boot re- airing section of the work. uring the summer this is not quite so serious, but as soon as the rains come and the schools &n-open the need will be very great, the boot repairs costing the association last winter be- tween thirty and forty dollars s month. No amount is too small to send. The association acknowledges with thanks a large bag of dried peas, two parcels of meat, some raspberries, five pounds of sugar, two grocery orders, s $3 monthly grocery order, a cheque for 33 and a two-dollar bill. Fruit and sugar for jam st this season is much needed. HOI.I.YBURN HAI.I. The gospel address at the 7:80 .m. servke next Sunday at ollyburn Hall will be given by hir.
