The trustees of the New England
Kurn Hattin Homes dedicated a new
building at Westminster Sept. l6. This
building, the gift of Vermont wo-
man, Mrs Laura l.. Ainsworth of Will
Jamestown, will accommodate at least
40 boys. Nearly enough applications
for the admission of boys to fill the
building are in the hands OF the execu-
tive secretary, but because of a lack
of money it has not been possible to
open the building.
Learning of the conditions, one man
in Vermont, feeling that it is a great
pity that the building should remain
closed, has made an offer which the
trustees are trying to get before the
people of Vermont. He agrees TO give
$3.50 ON condition that 80 others viii
agree to give like sum, $3.50, in order
that the building may be opened soon
1t is hoped that there may be 40 in
|diyiduals in Vermont who will be in
terested to make a special gift of $3.50
Any reader of this paper who is ready
to invest $3.50 in The New England
Kurn Hattin Homes is invited TO write
to +. l.. Walker, Treasurer, BELOW;
Falls, Vt. He viii be glad to hear
from any such persons or to furnisi
information about the Homes.
