in the plans for supporting a district

vote $50 for this work. She also said
that many had expressed a desire to
help on this work and the committee
would gladly receive any sums, large or
small, from those interested. 1t was
moved by Mrs Henry Fairbanks that
this sum be given the committee. Pre-
vious to the vote several took part in
discussion of the subject The hearty
expression from the club in favor of this
motion showed the continued interest in
this work, and was gratifying to the
committee. From substantial gifts and
pledges the committee felt that they had
enough money to start this work Of

that they can maintain this through
two months at least.
