and other articles of comfort and necessity
No initiation fee is charged for member
ship, but there will be voluntary contri-
button each time the ladies meet to sew,
the money being needed to meet the cost
of material and other expenses A COM
mittee appointed for that purpose will al
so very soon visit the towns people and
! solicit their contribution for the good
work. AS there is urgent need of the
articles to be made, among our brave men
at the front, it is hoped that every lady in
the borough who can do so will help along
this cause in one way or another. While
it is desirable that as many as can should
attend the meetings, some of those who
cannot possibly do SO may be able to work
at home, and the association would be
glad to have them do it. The young
ladies are invited to help in the work.
