There were no donations received at
the Red Cross headquarters yesterday
aside from some pieces Of linen. This
is probably due to the fact that two
boxes nave recently been sent away,
and interest has not begun to be CEN
tered round the next box. However,
the ladies hope that there will be gen.
erous donations during the next few
days, as a box will be s2nt off Monday,
not Friday, as intended, and all kinds
fruit juice, wine, new cloth, fannels,
linens, material for bedding, matted
milk, ETC., will all be welcome and can
not be too plentifu1y supplied.
