This date has been chosen because it is the day set aside all over England for the sale of these roses and it is eminently suitable that West Vancouver should keep it a t the same time. The day was named for the late Queen Alexandra who was great­ ly interested in .Grooms Cnpple- age (founded 1866), where tho rosOs weixj then and are still made. Originally all the proededs were" used for the up-keep of Groom's Crippleage, but lately only a percentage of the intake finds its way back to the Cripple- age -- .the distribution of the . remainder being left to the dis­ cretion , (xf the organization sponsoring the sale. The Duncan Lawson Chapter has decided to divide its share of the proceeds between the Jubilee Cancer Fund and the various branches of work' for children in West . Vancouver in which it is already interested. So anyone who buys an Alexandra Rose will bo help­ ing (1) the blind and lame girls helping the blind and lame girls who make the roses; (2) the^ Jubilee Cancer Fund; (3) the^ children of West Vancouver. Be rea^y to have your shareJn-this worth-while effort -- JuneT2th.
